    1994 Hydra-Sports LS 205 - What is max hp rating?

    Does anyone have a Hydra-Sports LS 205? If so does your boat still have the yellow sticker near the throttle that lists the engine rating? Wondering if I could repower with a 250?

    Just have a new one made with 250. It is not like you are putting it on a 175E.

    My LS175 was rated for a 150, it had a 175 on it. When I bought it from the guy i meet him at the insurance office. He went in and canceled his policy, I told them to open my policy. Everything was fine. Then one day looked at the rating on the boat and saw that I was overpowered. I went to the ins. office and asked about it. The agent said it was fine, he said I could have up to a 200 on it before my coverage would less or my cost would be more. Just something you might check on.

    I think our Johnson 225 HO. Output is 245 hp
    probably why it’s listed like it is
