[QUOTE="redrum, post: 417005, member: 14669"] Stick steering is GREAT! Once you get used to it. It is weird at first. You don't have anywhere to mount gauges and your friends won't be able to immediately be able to drive it. If you plan on running plastic it will help you when you have to drag it. Better get a 4 stroke if you plan on going 20 miles. You're going to burn a lot of fuel in a jet. Bait tanks make it much harder on plaining when you need to JUMP up on pad. Heck my tank weighs 40lbs empty. In a welded .100 1648 with 50/35. You can expect 24-28 with two guys, a tank and a light load... I will say there are times you NEED power in the river. [/QUOTE]
