[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 475205, member: 12995"] I think that motor will barely be enough to push a 1652 and you'll be running full throttle to get around and that might drive you crazy with a jet. I have a 60/45 2 stroke jet on my Lowe 1652 and it's nice to run at 2/3rds throttle. With 2 other people in the boat, I need all the power for going upstream. A 30 hp jet will probably be screaming the whole time. I would recommend at least a 40 hp jet for a 1652, the 30 might work on a 1448 but I still see a couple of guys on our river with the 25 or 30 hp jets making a lot of noise and barely moving. Check the size of the jet drive on the different motors because the smaller jet drives don't have as much thrust. I would suggest a test drive if you can find someone near you with a jet in the 1652-1756 size range. [/QUOTE]
