Insuring an overpowered boat

[DrunkenSailor]

Older Scarrab 302 center console. Max HP was 450. Twin 225 outboards. If I installed 300's or if I can find the right pair 400's. Is it going to be impossible to insure with the new motors?

Just remove the last "0" stickers on the engine cowls. You'll be fine with a pair of 30's or 40's.

No, just more money

That won’t be bad, what would it be a 75 mph boat or so?

They are running mid 60's with 250's. I dont think anyone has put 400's on one but a few guys running 300's have seen low to mid 70's.

It will come down to speed and value of the boat. Mid 70 MPH older boat, I don't think it will be bad at all.

I wouldn't be worried about insure as much as how much a pair of 400's is going to cost!

Definitely looking at used motors not new.

Soooo,
what's the going rate on 1 or 2 used 225's?
