[QUOTE="Seth, post: 296564, member: 1022"] I had a 1648 with a 50/35 Yamaha 2 stroke on it and it was great with two regular sized people. Much more more then that and it ran like poop and I didn't like it. My buddy had a 1752 with a Mercury 60/40 2 stroke and it ran much better with a load. I now have an 1852 with a 115/80 and it runs like a jet boat should! We can load her down good and she will still jump up on plane and scoot along mid 30's. I know you need to keep your finances in check but underpowering your rig, especially with a jet, will just make you mad at it. [/QUOTE]
