[QUOTE="parkerdog, post: 202150, member: 5503"] I'm a big guy, and I just bought a tracker 1860 jon. When I first looked at it before it was in the water I thought the thing was HUGE, way overkill. Since I've had it in the water I'm glad I didn't go any smaller. I could get by with a smaller one I'm sure but I'm still surprised by how much the boat moves when I move around. It's not going to tip over by any means, I can walk right up to the edge of the floor and look into the water. I guess I was expecting floating dock or pontoon stability but it's not. I was remembering the river jon boat when I was a kid and we fished on the mississippi. It didn't seem to move at all. Of course I was a lot smaller back then! lol I have been using a minn kota 36lb transom motor and it pushes it just fine in the lake I fish the most but I am going to upgrade to a front mount 55 just because I want the i-pilot and I don't like the transom mount.
