[QUOTE="lowe1648, post: 281892, member: 6349"] I've been looking at the Yamaha 40/30 and the Merc 60/40 very long. I'm wanting to put on the same size boat (1648) in an Alweld, bare bones with a middle bench seat. Keep getting told the 40/30 won't be a good motor for 4 people. Do you think it'll run on plane with 4 people? According to Outboard Jets.com hp chart I need the 60/40, but can't get the 40/30 out of my mind. Especially after I saw a Youtube video of 4 men in a 2048 Shawnee fiberglass flat boat/ Yamaha 40/30 on plane running at a pretty good clip.[/quote I have a bare bones 1652 alweld with a 40/28 2 stroke Yamaha and it will run ok with 3 people and limited gear alright. If you plan on running with 4 people most of the time i would go with the bigger motor in my opinion. My 1652 planes faster then my 1648 did with the same amount of gear and people. [/QUOTE]
