If you are looking at used boats, the Legend Alpha 199 fits. Mine was a rocket ship with that 225 on it. What's your definition of "Rocketship" Lol, that's kinda what I was thinking

Just messin with ya CG. I ran an Alpha 199 w/ a 225 for several days on Fork and was very impressed with it. I recall the boat ran 74 loaded heavy with 2 of us and ran across rough water as well as my 211. Caught an Over in a JCO event out of it on the mainlake with every other wave breaking over the nose. Took it back to Billy with clean carpet that day.

Just get a boat and put whatever ya want in the back. Only the TFF lawyers give a [censored]. Lol. I just finished putting a LS8 supercharged crate motor in a ‘70 Chevelle. 700-990hp depending on fuel and tune. I don’t think the insurance companies give a damn either way that it now has triple the original power. I’m sure a boat rated for 200 or 225 will simply be BETTER with a 250. Same weight on the transom, gonna fish the same, same length on the trailer, it’s just gonna holeshot and handle better.
Well that won’t work if you take your Chevrolet to the drag strip in a sanctioned race. Your horsepower will matter which class your in. In a fishing tournament over horse powered is not allowed either. WAWI doesn’t do tournaments. That’s why he is “What’s A Weigh In”. He’ll be fine with a 450R on the back of a Z19. As for the Chevelle? The customer doesn’t do “sanctioned event” racing. Mainly the street “in the middle of the night” club kinda stuff. Where the money ain’t in a Check or gift card. He doesn't do tournaments?LOL

Caymas CX 19 with a 225 is the real deal. They are working on getting it added to the build-about on their website. Dealers in Texas are starting to get some in stock.

The Caracal is a great boat does really well in the rough stuff as well and dry as a bone.
