    Just finalizing the short list and I notice a huge disparity between
    lbs and hp.

    Being of the engineering ilk, there just aint no substitute for cubic
    inches.

    I have a line in the sand MAXIMUM at 500lbs of displacement per HP,
    is this over-cutious?

    In fact I am leaning towards boats that have 350-400lbs/HP.

    I'd hate to be drifting towards a reef and have the motor running but
    only slowing the impact and not preventing it.

    Anyone care to shed some light?

    The boat at the top of my list comes in at 390lbs/hp and sounds good
    to me.
