Who told you they were only rated for 150hp?
The original haines 565l which is the same hull was rated to 220Hp, 175hp was very commonly fitted with many saying the 175/185 inline 6 was the perfect power to weight for the hull.

I don't see the edencraft version being rated to less to the original haines.

It was a Marine Surveyor who told me these hulls are rated at 150. I called Edencraft and got transferred to a bloke who's been there since the start who verbally told me they are rated at 150 but they don't have any further documents on these old hulls (can't get it re-rated to 175 due to narrow transom width too)

That sounds like a load of rubbish. The V17 and later 520 and 530 hulls were rated to 150Hp. They are shorter and narrower.

Again the haines built 565l was rated to 220hp.

A 175hp 2 stroke is well suited to the hull, if you were going 4 stroke you would need 200hp plus to be suitably powered.

Yes which also seems correct and matches up with the other hp ratings.

For your reference from the Australian Standards Calculation AS 1799.

Length of boat X Waterline beam width at transom X 16 less 67 then X 1.34 = hp

This applies to glass, alloy etc and is a generic formula for a power rating. Often glass boats will be rated higher that this formula allows.

Using the 565 specs online.
L 5.65
W 2.24

Comes out at 181Hp.
