Please say you don't have a 70 HP motor on a 13 foot Whaler for your son !
Maximum safely rated motor for that hull is 40 HP. Putting a kid on it with 70 HP is a disaster waiting to happen. Please reconsider putting a 20 - 25 HP on it.


I would have to agree. We had a 13' with a 25HP and it was great. 70HP would be scary.
