Hi All,


i have a 2005 2250rfs with a 115 Yamaha. Kind of done with the current power struggle. I am considering upgrading to a 200 Yamaha. I have a couple concerns: weight, transom. 


Have not consulted with Bennington yet. I'm pretty sure the boat was rated for 130 max. I had an engineer modify the transom bolts to thru bolts as the transom was separating a few years ago. I think that problem has been remedied. Just wondering if someone has already done the swap. 


Thanks for any help you can lend  
 
I think that's way overpowered for the capacity plate, especially with a wood transom.
 
Thanks for the responses. I feel like running this motor WOT all day is shortening the life of the motor. My hope is to gain a little more speed and have a little extra if needed. Was hoping someone has done similar or close and had a few recommendations. 


Thanks again
 
Bennington does not endorse exceeding the rated horsepower capacity.


I will be locking this thread.
