[QUOTE="redrum, post: 419692, member: 14669"] I wouldn't want to get into the which engine is better debate. Just wanted to say I wouldn't consider them to be equal. Also, a 48-60 won't have any trouble floating either of those engines. You could shift weight around in the boat to get it to float level. That's kind of one of those things that you have to go one way or the other with a jet. They will run faster with all the weight in the back but me, like most jet boaters, need to be able to float shallow, so I trade off top speed for shallow draft. I can walk to the bow of my 1648 with my engine idling and raise the jet nozzle out of the water. [/QUOTE]
