[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 508436, member: 32426"] I’m a beginner with jets but, it sounds like you’re in the ballpark. It will be interesting to hear what others with more experience say. Please keep us posted. I also have a Merc 25 jet. Mine is on a Lowe 1448M that I’m rigging this winter. It’s too heavy to safely test on my boat without more weight up front or pods. In a squirrelly test with the front of the foot about an 1” above the flat hull it was doing about 22mph at WOT. It can probably do a little better with some fine tuning. FYI - The same hull with a Suzuki F9.9/20hp conversion will do 27mph but, the Zuk is a prop and about 90 lbs lighter than the Merc jet. [/QUOTE]
