    Stratos 21ss

    Guys,
    The ole evinrude finally bit the dust and blew cylinder 2. Going to repower. Can someone give me an estimate if I go with a new merc 4 stroke 200? It has the torquemaster.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Do you mean an estimate speed-wise?

    It’s a shame OMC didn’t rate that hull for a 250, mine was rated for 245. I had a good Ficht 225 on mine and it was pretty fast with that for such a big heavy hull but a 250 would really wake it up.

    That's what I was thinking too.... a 250 on that hull would really be something

    Yes, according to US CG refs but it has to say that on the factory installed tags.

    Has to say on the rating plate to be "legal"? I would have thought that the CG rules would supersede the plate for what was "legal"... Then lower plate rating superseding for warranty and causing insurance/civil liability issues if rigged over plate rating.

    No argument here, just my observation from noting my own 245 rating plate on '95 201PE
