    Mercury 175xr2 vs 16 ft welded valco Jon

    Don't know anything about your hull but lots of the 175 sj in 10-11' mini boats Have to fab up the tunnel housing I just sold 3 to guys in BC. For small 14' boats Would need some extra bracing. Only thing is they are tall! You can buy the tunnel built and ready to drop in also.

    What's a good setup of an 18 foot jon boat

    Think Dan has it right! I have had 5 1860 hulls, tracker, G3. Alumacraft, ect. All were two stroke The 115 ran fine at about 33. But went with 150 later and loved it! Not only power when you need it but I could run 30 at 3900 rpm getting better gas mileage that the 115 running flat out all...

    New SeaArk Build, got some questions

    Yes it does, I have also put some rigid foam under floor as well I know I add a little weight with plywood but the ease of mounting stuff like seats, and console Might be worth it. It's a big boat! Anyway if I do it right I can take it up and put aluminum sheet down Wish SeaArk would go to...

    project jet

    I have setup a couple trackers G3 and Lowe boats with jets and have tried most every method to Raise the motor. Most would tell you that the best idea is to keep it as close to the transom as possible! Cut down on spray and with every inch back you increase the weight hanging out the rear. I...
