I found this formula and am wondering how to measure the transome on my aluminum boat. It is 3.5' at the bottum of the transom and 5.5' at the top. Which measure do I use?
(2 X L X W) -90 = rated horsepower
Where:
L=boat length
W=transom width; if the boat does not have a full transom,
the transom width is the broadest beam in the
aftermost quarter length of the boat.
The rated horsepower may be rounded up to the nearest "5".

L=boat length
W=transom width; if the boat does not have a full transom,
