Ok, I'm looking for a jet for my pops. I'm not new to jet boating as I own an 1852 legendcraft with a 60/40 etec.
He is looking for a 16ft no less than 48 in wide. Primary use will be fishing so he will have trolling motor, batteries, livewell etc. Anyway, we are looking to stay away from the legendcraft/blazer sport models due to none sold here in Indianapolis. He want's handle steering on the motor and probably a 40/30, 50/35.
What are your thoughts on number one the boat and number two the motor? I'd like to stay away from the etecs if I can. When I spoke with a mechanic at outboard jets he confirmed the lower rpm with them. I get blown away by mercs, yammies and older johnsons.
