[QUOTE="JoshKeller, post: 339207, member: 9811"] at this point im wondering if its worth the $1700 risk. my boat is pushing 700 lbs with two batteries, 24v trolling motor, and decking. may just fish this year with the prop and look for a 50/35 jet, or a welded jet package already put together. staring at the chart on outboard jets, it looks like 35hp would be 1050 or so pounds, not 900. is anyone else seeing this? ive been told the 3 cylinder 35 is closer to a 40 than a 35, but i just dont want to be stuck with a $1700 jet pump that wont move my boat. this is really something i wish i could test out and send back if it doesnt work. I did have a 1970 omc 25 hp 2 cylinder on this boat for a few weeks, and it even planed it out fine. that was a crankshaft measured 25, vs the prop shaft 35 i have now. it would do about 25 mph. if i got too much weight in the back, i just had my passenger move to the front and it immediately planed out.
