1448 Grizzly 25hp Jet

[Scuba559]

Just picked this up over the weekend. Ran it in ankle deep water and runs great! Now I just have to sell my old boat!

Great little rig.. wish mine was that light.

I have debated about selling my 1856JC and getting a barebones rig..

I can't help to be bummed every time I see Bass Pro sell a 25 jet package. I bet they told you it was an honest 25hp at the pump too eh?

I bought it used for 4K. It is 2007, planes quickly, stable and got me up a river with my buddy my prop is scared to get into. Overall I am quite impressed with the boat, I understood it was 18hp at the jet but it is plenty. You would not want to go much faster top end in the S curves and channels I have to hit.

My guess is it goes 22 mph, also i couldn't put a 40hp jet on it. It would be too heavy. Check out the link above for speed in my first post.

Great boat! From the video it looks like it moves plenty fast.

Very nice setup. Do you find it comfortable to steer with your right hand? I have never seen anyone do that.

I just sold a motor exactly like yours for 3100 so id say you got a pretty good deal.
You might want to look at a yamaha 30/40 in the future, its only about 15 lbs heavier then the Merc 25.

I guess i never thought much of it. It does look awkward from the picture. The river I fish on is very tight and has crazy S turns, i guess i feel more in control with my right hand. I will try with my left next time.

I have seen that one. That is a good idea for next time, one benefit of having the merc is the abundance of service facilities and parts in my city for them.

Have you sold your old boat yet? That 1448 Jet is really nice, Congrats on your purchase.

Yeah, SCARY fast with a 20 HP on the back. True 20 that is... Not a Jet, but hey, I think a Jet would be great for around where I live...

Man, that was smoking deal. The motor is $3,999 new, then I was told another $700 for the Jet lower unit.
