I have recently been looking at a number of boats in my quest for a new (to me) trawler and it is interesting to review the data plate on Cat 3208TAs. On the couple of boats in question the broker listing claims 375hp but on the engine data plate it clearly shows 300hp in one case and 260hp in another. So my question is, how can you be sure what the hp is and should the factory data plate stamped hp rating be the guide?
