[QUOTE="Ozark River Runner, post: 425302, member: 20678"] I have a 2015 60/40 Mercury Jet and I really like it. It is currently on a 1752 but my prior boat was a 1644 Alweld and I had no issues with that boat/motor combination. I would think that motor would be great on your boat. Most factory Jets will have the horsepower rating at the jet on the back of their motor. If you get a motor that is not a factory jet you could always just change the horsepower decal on the back. In my part of Missouri I have never had an issue with horsepower ratings nor do I have to deal with horsepower restrictions on the water I fish so I don't have any experience there. In my completely unprofessional opinion if the boat says its rated at 50 hp, I would be fine with putting a jet that is pushing 50hp at the pump. If you go with something as big as a 75 hp motor just compare the weight of that motor to others and make sure your transom can support it. [/QUOTE]
