Blazer Boat? Pros And Cons

[Ham]

A lot of those 40's are rebadged 60's or more. stickers are cheap.

Well that kinda takes some of the fun out of it. I thought those "40 HP's" were doing great.

I was very impressed with the performance of the Blazers boats I saw on the Current spring before last. The guys running 40 HP's were doing very well I thought. A 60 HP should do even better. The boats seem really, really practical. The jet operators were often really inappropriate and reckless in the way they ran their boats. I hated that part of it.

Yes, very practical boat. Yeah I went to Doniphan one day earlier in the summer, never again least on a weekend. I got out today for awhile at Currentview, was the only boat on the water all afternoon, now that I loved. Fish had lockjaw today, but boated a few. This will be a great winter boat, can't wait!

I've seen this in the duck woods to, however I'm sure this is a 60/40, i'm fairly familiar with a ETEC, this moter has the same displacement as my 50 had on my duck boat I sold. 40 50 and 60's have same displacement on an ETEC. Next size up has larger cowling, but I see what your saying, it does happen all the time.

What would be the advantage to having a 60 HP with 40 HP stickers on it? I get it when it is a 15 HP with 10 HP stickers, but...?

Above big springs, there's a 40 limit, so if they switch stickers around, they can boat up there without drawing as much attentions to whoever is patrolling the boats up there. From big springs down, there's no limit do it wouldn't matter..

Very nice boat. Looks like you did great.
