[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 329521, member: 9883"] I think you're right for a 60hp prop motor, but the 60/40 with factory jet is 268 according to Mercurys website and the one my buddy has is 270 according to the sticker on the motor. So how much better does the Merc 60/40 4 stroke run compared to a 50/35 2 stroke with a 1652 around 335lbs. with a full load of say 750lbs? Will the 50/35 not plane a load this big? I'm just having a hard time believing a 50/35 is not equal or more powerful than a 25hp prop motor. That's what I have now and it has successfully ran this: SeaArk 1448 .072 at 245 with plywood floors at approx 35lbs, Merc 25hp 2 stroke prop 114lbs, gas and battery 100 or better and 4 guys at 750 or more. I just don't want to get a motor that's 60 pounds heavier if it can be done with the 50/35 and its a 2 stroke vs the Merc a 4 stroke. Should plane quicker etc.. From what I've heard. Seems for jets just about everybody likes the 2 strokes better, I'm just not sure how much louder they are though. Thanks to everyone!!!! [/QUOTE]
