[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 247920, member: 7376"] I use one. I don't own it. 1448 boat with a 20 HP Tohatsu. Plenty of power with two of us in the boat + about 200 lbs of gear. We carry everything but the kitchen sink. Cooler, drinks, sandwiches, rods/reels, tackle, 2 batteries (only need one but he wants to carry two). It's not going to win any drag races but it planes easily and sips fuel. About 22 mph max but it would be faster if it were a 1432 or 1436. Can't imagine any of the Yamaha or Hondas being any different. Maybe a few lbs lighter as the Tohatsu we use is a power tilt motor. Overall I'm impressed with 4 stroke stuff. Lots of people hate them because of weight but it's easily offset by the fact that you don't need to carry as much fuel. I carry 3 gal tank. It's lasted me for almost 2 months on my personal 1542 / 25 Yamaha 4 stroke. People are just scared of them because they're "new". And the younger duck hunters won't use them because they can't mod them to go 50 mph+. [/QUOTE]
