[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 161951, member: 1523"] Dime, decide what you really want and go for that. Whacking one rock with a .063" hull will ruin your day, been there and even made a video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7pr20KSEfM JCB's boat seems to fit the bill for that size motor, more equals less performance. I started with a $1500 Alumacraft 1448mv and a 9.9 Merc. Found a junked Seadoo jetski and built the 1448 into a 1648 with a 85hp inboard jet. Now after wahcking the rock last Sunday I'm looking at UHMW, figure $1400 in materials to make it rockproof. I'll be up around $4k when it's done but you can't buy what I'm building... Where are you running Jamie [/QUOTE]
