Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28.

"My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton.

My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell.

So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!!

I dont know but I use a mercury 5 hp longshaft and it goes through anything and is about as heavy as Id think you'd want

:: I'm not sure if there is a specific rating, however my
:: boat previously had an extra large engine and it
:: required internal reinforcement to the outboard hanger
:: tube on the transom and also cracked the bracket itself.
:: I'm not sure how big they went...
