[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 412471, member: 12995"] I guess it also depends on how far you plan on running. I have a 60/45 and I never need to use WOT but I just go upstream for about 15 minutes and float back down. A jet at WOT for an extended period of time will really drive you crazy without ear protection. The 4 strokes aren't as bad as the 2 stroke like mine but if you want/need to do higher speeds for extended time you will want more power. If you are going to have a balanced weight load with people up front then the tiller should work fine. SeaArk makes the 1872 in an open floor plan as well and they don't cost as much. I don't think you need the sides like mine has, I bought it used that way so no reason to mess around with it. [/QUOTE]
