[QUOTE="Lawdog, post: 143168, member: 2729"] Howdy. I have a Merc factory jet which is rated 25 [i]at the jet pump itself[/i]. The lower unit is made by Outboard Jets and they outfit a variety of motors by several manufacturers--Merc, Yamaha to name a couple. Mine runs eastern Montana rivers with three guys and full load out for duck hunting just fine--two labs, dozens of dekes, three guns, three blind bags, etc. It is not a sportscar, more of a tank. I did four guys once... it was an adventure. Two guys zips pretty good. 23 mph with current, about 17 against. Only drops a couple mph adding the third guy. I run a lot in the dark in November through January, so speed is not always desired in any event. One advantage of the smaller motor I have found is that it keeps the weight of the whole deal very manageable. [/QUOTE]
