[QUOTE="Zum, post: 306093, member: 349"] I own a 1652,has a 6 degree deadrise with a jet tunnel. First motor was a 40hp Suzuki 2 stroke--top speed 33 mph. Current motor an old 30hp Mariner---squeeze 28mph out of her.(by myself, fishing gear and the is under 400lbs) The tunnel hull hurts my top speed, you might do abit better. Both motors are tiller steer, and my boats rated 35hp tiller 60 console. You should consider the rated hp form your boat(there not all the same) and how much of load/weight,do you normally travel with. Are lakes are small here so speed isn't a real big issue.I,95% of the time fish by myself so as long as I plane off and get above 25mph,it's good for me. [/QUOTE]
