[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 479853, member: 12995"] I have a 1994 Mercury 60/45 2 stroke jet on my 16' Lowe and I'm glad I went with the 60 over a 50 motor. I'm usually out by myself and the 60 is more than enough and I run at 3/4 throttle or less. But when I do have another person or 2, the 60 is needed and that's when you'll be glad you have the extra power. I think the 60 has a bigger pump than the 40 or 50 but I'm not 100% sure where the cutoff is so that will give you more performance over the smaller motors as well. My boat is a jet tunnel hull so it might sit a little lower in the back vs a non tunnel hull and I haven't had any issues. I think the boat will run around 30-32 mph with just me in it. As for the pricing, I've seen the older ones like mine in the $2500-3000 range so once you get into the 2000's I would imagine the prices go up a little. [/QUOTE]
