1973 ss with 115 hp 1974 merc

[douglas1978]

i wish i could get the pic and video off my smartphone but i just had to post the boat flys in the water. I have to slow down before i turn or the boat starts skipping sideways which i can deal with but need help i can't find the post where some one could make a new plate for the boat. i know i am 30 hp over max and in all my years boating i have never had dnr check the plate. My father also runs a newer 115 on he's 16 ft but spend from feb. to oct. on it in kentucky and he has also never been check
thanks for the help Doug

Well a 200 OB on a 22 holiday is not exactly slow.It wont slip a I adjust the trim tabs on the fly ,however slower is better and less expensive
