I have 1756 Crestliner Retriever Jon with a 50HP Tohatsu withch is proberly 30-35 HP at the pump. It works ok with 3 people and some fishing gear. My top speed is 32KPH up stream. I'm into the boat for about 18 grand and the only reason I went this way is that I already had the boat and motor. The pump and riser plate came to $3500. If I were to do it from scratch I would go look for a used 16 or 17 foot Explorer
