Boats do not have tags...they have registration numbers and in Florida, although not in Alabama a trailer needs a tag. Long process getting a registration in Florida if you don't have a title (if at all needed), or a bill of sale. I know that in Alabama (non title state) all I need is a BILL OF SALE and the fact that the boat has never been registered in Alabama. There have been issues getting a boat registered in Florida in the past and discussed on this forum.

I meant the label that has the max load and hp rating. Sorry for the misleading post!

Tuna Man

I say again...IN FLORIDA...<P class=BodyLarge>Maximum Loading and Horsepower<P class=Body>No person may operate a monohull boat of less than 20 feet in length while exceeding the maximum weight, persons, or horsepower capacity as displayed on the manufacturer's capacity plate.....<P class=Body>It says NOTHING about boats 20' or more in length.

I think wld1985 (Bill) has the same boat, I know it is a Randall Craft, maybe he has a plate with that information.

This weight does not account for passengers, fuel, or gear. The beam of this craft is 60 inches. The max horsepower for this boat on our records is 25 hp . If you choose to buy a replacement engine for your Randall Craft 1976 Semi V boat, it is recommended by many, that you verify the max horsepower for your boat. This is because of safety reasons - as it would effect the insurability of your outboard boat. Be sure to have the manual for your engine handy, not only for your safety, but to save you money on repair costs.

Thanks Ron, you are awesome!

wld1985

ya.. The randall craft was the same.... Max was a 25hp with like 3ppl onboard... 25hp took it pretty fast... Make sure the transom can handle it though.... I think I put a 15hp on it once and it look it about 3mph's slower....and was'nt that quick out of the hole..

sure,icanfish

you will be at risk of BOTH: having too much fun, and blowing tears in your ears
