HP rating Herter's Hudson Bay? 14 years 6 months ago #6454

matt_malloy Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Karma: 1 Thank you received: 0	I am going to register a Herter's Hudson Bay 14ft(1959?) Does anyone know what the rating was for max. horsepower on this model? I cannot find much info online about this boat. The aluminum transom "board" looks like it would handle maybe up to a 20 hp motor. Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

From the 1956 catalog:

The Model Hudson Bay takes 16 horsepower motors and Mercury morots up to 25 horsepower. With a ten hores Johnson outboard motor we guarantee the Model Hudson bayy to go from 30 to 32 miles per hour which is much faster than this motor will drive any other boat.

If you have more catalog pages with info on Herter's boats, you should post it so it can be added to the library. There is a shortage of info on Herter's other than the flying fish model.
