I’m in Missouri and close to the black river, big river, meremac, and the gasconade isn’t too far. I am interested in a jet outboard on something such as a 1448 or a 1648. I usually fish with one other person but would like to bring 3 max. The current debacle I am having is it seems many 1448s are limited to 25 hp and many 1648s are limited to 30 hp. It seems a 25/20 and a 30/20 would just be a dog and may not plane great. Normally I wouldn’t care about hull horsepower capacity but it is important to me that I have insurance to cover my butt. Any ideas on a good hull and motor combination that could point me in the right direction? I want to run a 2 stroke and it doesn’t matter to me whether it is tiller or console or stick steer. Thanks for the help and tight lines!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
