I don't think BASS or FLW would be better off if they kept the horsepower at 150. It allows them run further and faster than they could in a small outboard. Now for the common person like me I am content in my small bass tracker with a 30hp

I'm not sure why they have a hp limit at all. If the boats rated for it knock yourself out.

why does everyone think "bigger/newer" is better? I have an 82 champion 184/96 johnson fast strike (210hp dyno)/all the best of the best goodies including brand new 998/898hd units and all total I have about 15,000.00 tied up in a boat that will fish as good and sometimes better than a big ole shiny 65,000.00 super rig.
sorry but just like trucks, I do not need the newest prettiest to be just as good as anyone else, it just escapes me how some can sink over 100k in a boat and pickup.
I am with you Hop but I am kind of a simple person. I got tired of carppy boats so I ordered a Ranger from the factory in 1985. I still have it. Does not look the same as the day I picked it up but it runs the same or better.
