I’ve got a stupid question regarding a pro 160. I’ve currently got a 1542 Duracraft with a 25hp motor. I’ve got a friend selling a 2 year old pro 160 with zero hours. Long story short, he bought it new, and 2 weeks later was relocated for his job in a foreign country. He’s never even put fuel in the boat. My question is this. I’m a big guy. Me, my 150lb wife, and 60lb son are able to fit on the Duracraft. We are pushing its 550ish pound persons capacity for all its worth. The pro 160 is a longer and wider boat, yet it’s persons capacity is 390. It does have a 40hp motor. Is this something that would be dangerous? It’s hard for me to fathom a bigger wider boat having that much less of a person capacity, yet I do understand it has more weight built on, and a heavier motor. Will we be ok or do I need to look for something bigger? Thanks for your time and insight.
