I should add, I used to run a 17 ft, 900 lb. sled with an 85 hp evinrude with a jet, and that was too little power for three guys in the boat. I now run a 19 ft, 1800lb North River, with a 175 sportjet, and with four guys, I'm fine. DO NOT buy too little power when you buy a boat with a jet. You will be wasting your time and money.
