i've seen plenty of 50's on 18x42 tunnels cant see it being a problem with an 16x48. I run a 16x42 with a 25hp but wouldn't see a problem going to a 40hp on it. If I'm not mistaken I don't think there is a big difference between the 40's and 50's. Need to run this by Montauk though he should be able to confirm my opinion. I say do it though. If they can run a 35 hp surface drive (which is heavy as hell) i dont see why you couldn't run a 50hp outboard!!
