[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 191510, member: 4585"] Moelkhuntr, Your boat is insane looking, I love it. One of my favorite boats on this site! Fender's is nutz too! I was pretty set on the 3 cylinder tohatsu 50/35 but if you guys say the E-tech 60/40 is more powerful Im gonna go with that. I really like the E-tech because of all the good things I've heard about it...Power, fuel efficiency, reliability, etc.l I don't mind sacrificing a little speed for the ability to go where I want. But I want to make sure I go as big as I can with it. I have had under powered boats in the past and I will never do it again. The last 3 I had were maxed out....A 15' gheenoe with an 8hp 2 stroke merc was at its max, my 1658 Astro alwelded center console flat bottom was maxed with a 3 cyl 40 hp tohatsu with power tilt and trim (I should have kept that boat and put a jet on it) , and now my Alumacraft has its max at 25hp. I will call Fred and see what he recommends as far as the size of boat and motor I am looking for. I have seen numerous posts on here about how good they are at Current river Marine. I don't mind a trip for the right boat. I really appreciate all of you "jet Guys" helping me with this. You guys really know your stuff! Experience goes a long way when it comes to putting together the right boat for the job. [/QUOTE]
