[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 370818, member: 9169"] How does everyone's boat perform with heavy loads? I always read that jets do not do good with heavy loads, but mine seems to run great loaded down. Takes a bit longer to get on plane and I lose about 3 mph, but that's the only noticeable difference when loaded down. With 2 guys and fishing gear I get 30mph. With 3 guys (725#'s total), 5 bags of decoys, guns and other hunting gear I get 27mph. I have a 1995 Tracker Sportsman 1648MV with a rebuilt (last year) 1994 Johnson 50/35 jet w/stainless impeller and Chris Carson reeds. Just curious how everyone else does loaded down. Here is how we get to our hunting spot. Looks like a barge coming up river :shock: [img]https://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq356/peck1524/IMG_20141122_102323_zpsjsdr0avh.jpg[/img] [img]https://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq356/peck1524/IMG_20141122_102341_zpsdrwowvua.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
