[QUOTE="Darkside, post: 230744, member: 6899"] The boat will handle the 80jet just fine. You'll also be able to run it at lower RPM's to save on fuel. Having owned this very same Yamaha 115 2 stroke outboard as a jet (converted it myself) - I can say two things. 1. Its a very reliable engine 2. It's a gas hog when running it WOT It pushed my 1966 32mph and it was a very heavy .190 bottom boat with 3/8" UHMW on the bottom. That 1652 should fly well into the upper 30's perhaps even more!
