[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 328575, member: 9883"] I've been dreaming of getting a jet motor for some time now. Been told by many I need a 60/40 for what I what to do. I've driven a Mercury 60/40 4 stroke. It was a fast motor on a 1752 with 3 guys (I'm sure it would've handled more). Now after I had a chance to see the motor and the weight of it I'm looking at something lighter. Looked at the Yamaha f40/30 jet, but have been told it may or may not work out. So now I've found a used 2008 Yamaha 50hp 2 stroke with about 40hrs. use I'm told. Price is good at $2700, but the motor has no controls. I'm wanting to put a tiller on it and priced one at a dealer, they said about $500 for the tiller. The motor has a lower unit on now so I would have to buy a jet pump also, about $1500 is what Fred at Current River Marine said the cost would be. Now here is what my setup would be: 1648 or 1652 .080" should weight in around 275lbs to 330lbs. Yamaha 50/35 2 stroke=189lbs. without the jet pump. I'm figuring 210lbs. with the pump. Would like the ability to haul 4 people if needed on plane. Is this doable, or would I be wasting my money? Should I just save up for a 60/40 4 stroke and be done with it? Thanks.. [/QUOTE]
