1983 Skeeter StarFire 15' 6" (help)

[papaking]

I just bought this boat. It has been completely redone. One problem, the guy that did it covered up the plate that gives ratings on number of persons, weight, max hp etc. He didn't just cover it with carpet, he extened the front walking platform out in front of it.

Does anyone know the ratings? Really I need to know the max horse power. I want to enter the Skeeter Owner's Tourney next year and you can not exceed the plate hp on your outboard.

Thanks

Actually I found the formula.

It is (length x width x 2) - 90 and then rounded to the next 5 up.

In my case it is: 15.5' L x 6.5' W x 2 - 90 = 111.5 (rounded up = 115)

So the max Coast Guard rating for my boat Skeeter is 115 HP.

I have the 1981 SF-150. I'm assuming that SF is for Starfire, and its 15.5 feet long. My plate says max HP = 150, and thats exactly what I have. zoom zoom
