Hi guys - I'm about to pull the trigger on a 16' Sea Ark tunnel jet 1652, without pods ... dealer is pushing me towards the far more expensive Yamaha. I've read the new Yamaha's have a slightly smaller impeller and may not provide the performance the Merc will. Does anybody have first hand experience with these two engines ? I'm well aware the 60/40 isn't going to be a hotrod either way, but I really do need to get the one that performs best under heavy load (me & my buddy are each well over 200lbs). Also, just a fyi ... I know alot of folks will recommend I upgrade to a 90/65, but I have reasons for not doing that, so any intel on the 60/40 would be massively appreciated - thx !!
PS - if anybody has any experience with how the 1652 compares to the slightly wider 1660 with the same 60/40 engine, I would love to hear from you on that as well (I have a very narrow single car garage and I would have a far easier time getting the 1652 into the garage.
