Maximum Horsepower

[wesliepold24]

I’m trying to find out what the Maximum Horsepower rating for my 1974 16’ aluminum Lund boat is. I believe this is usually on the Hull ID but the only number I can make out is 7325, which I think is the hull id Number. Thanks for the help.

Re: Maximum Horsepower

I have no info on your early model Lund boat but here's a site and some info on 2004 models that might give you a ballpark.Consider weight of hull,style of hull,etc..The 16 ft models stop out with between 45-75 hp engines. Some are rated a bit higher or lower depending on the specific model,hull design,etc. <br /> <br /> web page

http://www.uscgboating.org/regulations/boatbuilder/part1/reg33_183_4a.htm is a Coast Guard page that has the formula for computing maximum hp for your hull. Enjoy!
