[QUOTE="reccrew, post: 171247, member: 4448"] The 40 Jet 4 stroke is not a 60/40 they are 2 different engines: you'll be pushing more like 29-30 HP at the jet head with the 4-stroke Merc. 40 Jet. That being said, the guys at Blazer really know their business. My 1752 Blazer Sport in 80 gauge not 100, rigged exactly like the one you described ran very well with the 40 jet tiller; pushed the hull in the high 20's upstream in pretty good flow and the long rake of the 1752 sport gets it on plane quick. If you come across a 60/40 2 stroke you'll get amazing performace; but that 5 year four stroke warranty is hard to beat, is great on fuel and the motor is really priced right. I've owned 2 of them one on a Roughneck 1652 tunnel hull an the other on the 1752 Sport; they both have been good motors but hull selection is everything and you're looking at the right hull and motor combo!
