[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 476152, member: 9883"] I've PM'ed a few members on here that have or had this motor and asked them about their setups, but haven't gotten any responses. I'm looking to get an Alweld sport jet in .080" or a Blazer in .080" in a 1652 or 1752 rear bench, maybe a split middle bench or full middle bench and no more than a 38" front deck and going to be tiller steer. Trying to keep the boat weight to somewhere between 350 to 390lbs. I've seen several videos and read some post that guys are doing pretty good with this motor on 1652 bare bone hulls, one video even stated that it GPS'ed top speed of 30mph with just the driver. I usually always have two in the boat, sometimes up to four. Is this motor a good fit? I like the fact that it's 40lbs. lighter than the Merc 60/40 four stroke, but don't want to have any regrets....Anyone that's running this motor could you please go into detail about your setup and loads so it'll give me a better idea, thanks!
