experienced users using their boats for very specific purposes ( carrying heavy
loads, etc.).

your principal boating activities. Refer to the recommended power (see

Over-powered your boat can be difficult to control. Under-powered and you may
not have that margin of security necessary to go upwind or against the currents.
