First of all I'd like to welcome to the site, thanks for taking the time to sign up.
My friend had a 40 horse on his 16ft starcraft and it pushed the boat a 28 to 30mph and that is a good speed for any smaller boat. He pulled the boat with a 4 liter ford explorer which I think is the same motor as your Jeep unless you have the 4 cyl. His boat motor was the oil injector model though and it was a lot easier than having to mix the gas and oil and I think it gives better performance. Good luck on what ever you decide and let us know how it goes with whatever boat you get. WH2
