[QUOTE="duckfish, post: 391937, member: 17136"] Sounds then like it could either be this is all the boat is capable of, or potentially the motor position is not optimum. I've never had a jet that small so I can't tell you with certainty what you should realistically expect. My sense is that if you are talking about a jet pump on a 25 Hp head, it may well be under-powered. One thing I can say with certainty, grossly under-powered boats (especially jets) are an annoyance. Most everyone I know that's been thru it hasn't lasted more than a few years before upgrading. If I were in your shoes, unless it's a screamer of a deal, I'd keep looking. Or at a minimum have him change the set-up to prove it can do better before buying. [/QUOTE]
