[QUOTE="nwsg76, post: 5655001, member: 7241"] A rivet boat with a 20hp jet is ok. Especially if you build a 2 stroke motor. Go higher in hp or weight and you will prefer an all weld. I have run a 1448 and 1548 rivet boat for years with a 20hp jet 2 stroke. A 4 stroke will be ok, if you can shift the weight around somewhat. Your gonna want a 20 in transom and still need some adjustment. A 15 in transom will not work. Just for fun we pulled a 20 hp jet off and put a tiller 60/40 jet on a 1448 rivet boat. It was a blast and super fast but it was not gonna survive the torque and stress. [/QUOTE]
