Depends on where you're going to go. If you're in an area that has a lot of nasty stuff that could hang you up you may want to go shorter. If you're running a lot of nasty water you may want to look at a roughneck or a riverpro style that has a stronger hull. Also remember jets have about 75% the power that a prop does so an 18' boat with a 65 would really be closer to a 50-.


It's a 90/65 jet. So 65 is plenty of power for me. I'm assuming the lowes run about the same $ as the g3s? The hull is the same thickness on the lowe as the g3 as well.
