[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 465277, member: 12995"] What shaft length does your boat take? I would guess the 2 stroke makes a little more power vs the 4 stroke. I have a Merc 60/45 2 stroke short shaft motor on my Lowe 1652 jet tunnel hull and it moves the boat pretty good. It's more than enough with just me in the boat but if I have 2 other people it's barely enough. I would think a 50/35 would be good for a couple of people but if you add weight like a cooler or fish tank and extra fuel it could be a lot tougher to get it going. I think it really depends on what your normal boat setup will be so let us know what combination you plan on running. I know I go through fuel a lot quicker when the river is running high with faster current but in low water it works fine. [/QUOTE]
