[QUOTE="archery68, post: 397560, member: 20113"] I have new blazer ss 18/52 I run it mostly on the current river here in southern Missouri. We have 40hp restriction on part of the river I run on mostly so I run a mercury 40 jet. This is third jet boat I have owned but first 18 ft. Took it out first time a couple of weeks ago and just me minus trolling motor and battery it hit 32 mph downstream and 28.5 upstream. That is plenty fast for the river. Had the family in it last sat and did not gps it but gets up on plane quick and rides great. Very pleased with my setup. Blazer boats are made very close to where I live and has become the most popular boat on the local rivers. Seem very well constructed and can be ordered in just about any layout you can imagine. Our boat shops here can fabricate them however u want. Mine has rear deck over starter battery and gas tank. Two rear live wells under rear seat. Extended front deck and two places forward for seats when family is with me. It's got tons of open space. I choose tiller for the room and quick turning to miss crap in the river. Some people say tiller boats have to much weight in the rear and won't get on plane. Mine will get on plane. Boat guy said 18ft will give more weight forward and will help get up on plane, makes sense and works for me. Boat place I got mine has been in business for 50 years, they know what they are doing in my opinion. So Blazer boats are top notch in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
