Hey guys,
I have a 2002 G3 1756 with a 2002 2stroke 40Hp yamaha. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20508&hilit=g3+1756+CC+DLX And once again I am thinking putting a jackplate and jet foot on the motor. I know my 40hp will only be a 30hp with a jet unit but I have done some reasearch and think it will run just fine.....
I found that my hull is only 5" longer than the current model 1656CCJ (the 1656CCJ is 16' 5" & my 1756 is 16"10) and somehow my hull is about 40lbs lighter (dryweight). According to yamaha performance bulletin website https://www.yamahaoutboards.com/owner-resources/performance-bulletins the 1656CCJ runs 27.4mph WOT with the fourstroke 40/30 jet, and it only runs .3mph faster, 27.7mph with the 60/40jet? Which is the max you can get on it from the factory. I'm sure the extra HP will matter more when hauling a load. These numbers are for the current models of the boats and with 4stroke motors. My boat is a 2002 G3 1756 CC that does not have the storage in the front deck, the huge fuel tank up front, or the live well. Plus my motor is the 2 stroke and is 60lbs lignter than the 4 stroke 40/30
My thinking is that with my rig being about 100lbs lighter than the 1656CCJ I should see at least the same performance? I have also heard that the Jet tunnels are a little slower because the tunnel creats drag. Since my boat is not a tunnel, and its 100lbs lighter I am feeling pretty confident that it will run around 27-28 mph with my 40hp 2smoker spinning a jet.
I have heard some say that the performance bulletins are BS but what else are we supposed to use as a guide?
Before anyone says it, I will state in advance that if I had the money I would have already bought a 2 stroke 90hp yamaha with a jet on it and been done. Or bought my dream boat. A 2072 SeaArk pro jet tunnel with a 150/105 jet, fwd console, and pods! But modding my existing set up until my finances improve is my solution to getting back in the shallows where the big redfish are for the next year or so. LOL!
I would really like to hear from someone that has, or has been in a G3 1656CCJ with the 40/30 jet.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks
