[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 89325, member: 1159"] Buy some good life jackets for those kids. I took a look around the internet, I could not find a single 12' jon boat that is rated for an 18 HP, let alone an 18 hp 4 Stroke that weighs 115 pounds+. The highest rating I found for a 12' jon was 10 hp. So, IMO, you have way to much HP and weight on the transom of that boat. Throw in 4 people and I would say you are really overweight and just asking for trouble let alone then opening it up to see how fast it will go. If you are going to run an 18 hp and haul 4 people around, you need a bigger boat. [/QUOTE]
