[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 491626, member: 3438"] A little more power and probably a little lighter weight, usually a positive in a jet boat. The boat and expected load will play a big role in its performance. Outboard Jets makes just about all the production jets you see these days. Their website is a trove of great info. Here is a link you should read about boat hulls and recommended power. [URL='http://outboardjets.com/boat-selection/']Boat/Power Select[/URL] I estimated all the weights in my son's 17' G3, and the power just made the minimum requirement. Just under a 2000lb gross weight with a 90HP power head. I think the minimum does provide "good" performance. If he opted for the smaller 60/40 jet, it probably would have been a mistake. [/QUOTE]
