Silver Hilton's take on the Sportjet is right on. I have a 175 Sportjet in a 19' TJ and it has no problem with a hole shot alone or with 5 people, handles very well, top speed 45+, small doghouse leaves plenty of room with the cooler on the swimdeck.

I agree with windshield/no windshield post. My wife voted for the windshield (so did I)with canvas for protection from the weather, I also do not do much boondoggin.

If you go with the sportjet, get a stompgrate as mentioned earlier, clean out the intake and stay dry.

Good luck with your boat choice.
