[QUOTE="fender66, post: 152248, member: 2990"] My old tin (which is still in the garage being finished) is a 1648 with a 40hp jet. It's an old alumiweld and it does great with speed and stability. (remember...with the jet, that's 28 hp at the jet). I just didn't have enough room to move around comfortably. Seating for 2 was about it, but I still got my family of 4 with the dog in there on occasion for a boat ride. Cramped, but it worked. My new tin is a Alweld 1756 and it's like night and day difference with room and maneuverability. My engine is a mute point because I'm at a level of overkill with a 225hp Merc/Jet. I've seen this same size boat move VERY well with a 90hp. Good luck and don't get in a hurry.....it will pay off. [/QUOTE]
