[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 518592, member: 32426"] Fuzzygrub is right about the weight. My Mercury F25ELH JET weighs 196 pounds. It’s too much weight for my 1448 without ballast near the bow. I would not even consider installing this motor on a smaller boat. I bought the above motor from a guy with a Lowe 1648. He was selling it because it was a real dog on a boat that size. It might be Ok on a 15 ft boat or a wider 14 ft but, I haven’t tried it. If you really a jet boat I suggest a bigger boat and jet. [/QUOTE]
