[QUOTE="po1, post: 149527, member: 1978"] I've used our 5.5 johnson on one of the earlier 12' jon boats and it would not plane the boat. But the way I looked at it, it still pushed by a lot faster then trolling motor. I still use the 5.5johnson on the 16' jon when going to the restricted lakes it may only plow me threw the water but its till faster then the trolling motor. The 9.9 would be the way to go if your transom will handle the 9.9. The 16' jon i've got has a wood deck and my 9.9 evinrude will get it to a plane with one person in it. [/QUOTE]
