[Rhodes22-list] Outboard size

[Robert J. Nickerson]

Todd -
Many lakes have a "10 HP limit" and that can be slightly ambiguous - no more 
than ten or less than ten.  Note that many manufacturers have 15 horsepower 
model that is a more highly tuned 9.9 model (same displacement).  There is a 
big market for the 9.9 decals and motor covers to make the 15's look legal 
on these lakes.

  All,

     I have read somewhere that outboards are usually rated at 9.9 hp
  to keep them under 10 hp, but I can not remember why.  Can someone
  refresh my memory?
