[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 444108, member: 15266"] "With ease" is all relative. I had a 1436 and a strong running 15hp evinrude 2 stroke, and with two guys, a cooler and fishing gear that boat would NOT get on plane. With just me and my gear, she would fly!! Short narrow boats just dont do the job very well. Another factor that is not being considered is the fact that this is a jet. Put two engines, a prop and a jet side by side, same HP rated at the LOWER UNITS, and the prop motor is going to plane a heavier load better, get it up on plane faster, and have a lot more lower end grunt. With an empty boat you will not see as much of a difference between the two. The torque difference between the two styles of motors is incomparable. I have to concur with Andy on this one. [/QUOTE]
