[QUOTE="nwsg76, post: 4640057, member: 7241"] I have had/run several jets for past 25 years. If you river needs a jet....you will love it. If you want to fish on big water....you will hate it. Jets are made to slide over the water....not cut thru water. Set up is crtitical. You Must Have correCT Transom Height For Your motor. If not it will affect preformance. 1/2 inch wrong will be a big notice. There is only about 2 companies that make the jet foot. I have always used the one from California [url=http://outboardjets.com/contact-us/]http://outboardjets.com/contact-us/[/url] You should be able to order directly the jet foot for your setup. Cheaper than dealer. I have had 14ft with 48 in bottom wide with 20hp jet...best river setup. It will go where it will not float. 4 inches.but no more than 2 people. I have a 1648 now with 40/30. Great middle of road setup for 3 people. Also have a 1860 tunnel with 90/65. Take the whole family rig. They key is weight balance and setup.moving fuel tank and battery make difference. Anything bigger than 16 ft needs a 30 hp. I have had 2 different 2strokes and one 4 stroke. I like the the less noise from 4 stroke. But you have to adjust setup due to increased weight in back of boat. Find someone to help you with setup or feel free to ask me anytime. [/QUOTE]
