[QUOTE="mattr0924, post: 447579, member: 15494"] Any updates? I recently had a 17.5/56 .125 gauge Long Beach boat built,installed a new merc 60/40 I had purchased for a riveted 1656 boat, motor ran high 20’s with 2 big guys (500lbs between 2 of us), ended up getting a new boat built in hopes of using the 60/40, after playing with height and redistributing weight I was lucky to get 27-28 by myself completely unloaded,I have since sold the 60/40 and purchased a 115/80. Nothing is more annoying than an underpowered outboard jet, people told me and I never understood until I experienced it,if you’re used to how your 50 prop pushes you will be disappointed in a 60/40 jet, just my opinion:-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
