Hey all,
Looking into purchasing a 1648 tracker welded jon with a 40 hp (at the pump) Mercury jet. Went to BassPro and one of the tracker reps told me that they couldn't pair a 1648 with a 40 hp due to maximum hp regulations? Maybe they just can't mount it for liability reasons?
I haven't heard anything like this before and have done lots of reading online that says that this is a radical combo.
Many of the maximum hp regulations I have come across are from the United States and deal with rivers rather than boat size.
I think that the 1648 would be able to handle the 40hp as the 25hp is not significantly lighter.
Anyways, would appreciate if anyone could confirm this maximum hp/boat regulation? Just never heard of it before. Any other jet boat info is welcomed.
Cheers
