Ok so I am trying to get some clarification on something. Around where I live I see a lot of jons with offroad lights on the bow of the boat, almost like headlamps. After looking into Coast Guard regs (just to reinforce what I already assumed) it's not legal to have these lit up while underway...

Looking to buy a 8-15hp tiller steer short shaft outboard. Not picky about make but needs to be in good running condition. Will drive to most of GA and parts of TN, AL, FL, NC or SC if the deal is good! Cash in hand. Let me know what you have! Thanks!

Hey all, I'm looking for an 8-15hp outboard for my jon boat. Checking Craigslist I found a 70's Johnson 9.5hp outboard and the guy wants $325 for it. It supposedly runs well but I haven't seen it yet. How much would one of these go for? He doesn't have a specific model year but said it's 70's...

Hey all, Rebuilding a 14' flat bottom aluminum jon and I'm starting to look for outboard motors. The Coast Guard plate on the back of my transom says that the boat is rated for an 8hp outboard. I looked at the sticky at the top of the "Motors" page and did the math for the maximum HP rating and...

Hey all! I'm a new member to the site but I've been looking at builds on here for a couple years now. I had a project bass boat that I recently sold and bought a 14' Dehli flat bottom and trailer from a buddy for $300. I've got some pretty good ideas for the boat but it's my first jon build so...
