[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 184415, member: 4585"] How old is the gas in the tank? If its left over from last summer that could be part of the problem. Check your plugs and fuel filter too. If a plug is fouled you will experience a dramatic loss of power. A 25hp Merc should make that 1448 scoot. There are a ton of videos on youtube of 25 hp motors on 1448 jons and they are moving close to 30mph. Even with a jet drive they are running about 20mph. I found this video on Youtube while shopping for a boat myself. At the 40sec mark you can see that this 1448 grizzley is planing out with 2 guys and a large load of gear. Maybe Smittles will chime in on this thread. He is a member here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJKp1LpVBv4 [/QUOTE]
