[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 491287, member: 12995"] A stripped down 1652 or 1648 might be ok with a 25 hp prop motor but if you start finding hulls with floors, sides, console, storage, etc. the weight will go up and slow you down. I bought my 1652 center console (with floors/sides) with a 40 hp prop motor and it was fine with that motor. Since it's a jet tunnel hull boat I sold the prop motor when I found a 60/45 jet for it. I think with 3-4 people and some gear in it, a 1652 would struggle with a 25. I think I would look for a 1548 or 1448 but it probably depends on how you really plan to use the boat. If it's just going to be 1 or 2 people most of the time, a bare 1652 should work. [/QUOTE]
