I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question but I was wondering if any of the guys from Louisiana know if modding the larger engines would put you in violation of the 36 horsepower limit imposed on a lot of the coastal wildlife management areas? such as if you had one of the stage kits installed from gator-tail or if you had one of the mudbuddy 4000 or higher are these engines actually rated at higher horespower than the stock vanguard 35 or 36. Thank you.

well u can always say look at the model number on the motor the briggs number and when they look it up they will get a 35 hp horizontal or a 36hp vertical!!!LOL

Tell em your mods only increased torque

Tell em to dyno it on the water to prove the hp, then see what they say.

Just run your junk and quit worrying about it.
