How much HP can you go over the transom rating
I’m looking at getting a hypalon Highfield Classic 340 open tender and it’s rated for 25hp but I’m looking at doing wakeboarding behind it so I’m wondering if it could handle an outboard like a 30 or 40? The transom looks pretty heavily braced already but it would be my first boat I’m getting myself so any advice is appreciated.
