[QUOTE="blazer02, post: 392002, member: 15044"] A 25hp jet motor should push a 1448 with two men in it easy if everything is in good working order in the jet and the motor is installed at the proper height.it should make around the 28mph that the alumaweld is making.i ran a 25 horse johnson on a 1848 blazer that loaded down with 250lbs of gear floor rod box and big livewell and two men weighing 240 apiece and down river would make a steady 20 going down river and ran this setup for years intill i could afford a new motor.where i run a lot we are under a 25 horse at the jet restriction so most people run a 25 horse power head and will make 20 and better on 1742s 1842s 1648s. I would probably guess that if the boat has only ever ran around 14mph and the boat is only 330lbs the motor is not set at the right height.some pics of the transom and how motor is sitting on it would be able to confirm if this is the case.
