[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 438784, member: 18942"] If your going to have more than two people or two people with any significant amount of gear go for a bigger engine at least 60/40 spinning a 6 7/8" impeller with a large series obj on it. That 40/30 will have a medium series obj on it with a 6 1/8 impeller most likely, which wouldn't be very good for moving a boat that size with much weight in it. If you make the trip to virginia james river jets makes pretty stout boats that guys up there like running similar rivers. Probably could find a deal on a used one around there in the 17-18ft range with a 90/65. This is just my opinion at the end of the day it's your boat get what you want, but for obj powered boats I wouldn't want anything less than a 60/40 powered boat of some kind. Even if your not after speed you at least want it to be able to plane out without needing an 1/8 mile to do so. [/QUOTE]
