hp rating for 1978 16' flat bottom sea nymph

[swimmin' for shore]

The title says it all. Anyone have one of these that still has an information plate? I have a 35 hp johnson for it, but the boat has been converted to a bass boat with decks and consoles and all. I think it might be a little heavy for the 35 to be fully effective now.

No info on the boat, but it's nice to see your back,

Hello Ondarvr. You know, I finished and sold, or just plain sold, every last project, motor, etc...that I had. I tried SOOOOO hard to get away from this doggone hobby. :% Thank you for the nice comment. It's good to see that you're still here with the wealth of knowledge that you've always had.
Alan, I'll go ahead with the twin 250's if you'll come on the maiden voyage with me. Incidentally, we're going DEEP! d
Any other opinions?

there is a site USCG, that has the formula for determining the max hp. spent 15 min looking for it. it has to do with width x length, transon height, tiller or remote control . but i can't find it.
