[QUOTE="Midwestjet, post: 292546, member: 10416"] Hey Roost...sounds like a neat project. When I was looking into a Sport Jon sled 4 years ago I followed the blogs out west where they were developing the design for a light draft heavy hauler for moose hunters. The early boats tried the 200, 240 and 250 Merc Opti Sportjets and after a lot of trial and errors ( and tons of moose haulin' ) the end result was the 240 and 250 Opti's cost more, Weighed more, burned more fuel but didn't push more ( not enough to notice ) so most everyone went with the 200 Opti as the standard power package. As a 200 Opti owner I would recommend to anyone wanting to build a raised tunnel boat. Good luck with your project! Midwestjet [/QUOTE]
