Hi Everyone
Have lurked for a while. I currently have a boat for sale and I am hoping to purchase a jon boat once I sell. I think ( hope I have it sold). There are two boats in my area.
One is a 12 Ft Gruman in Great Shape with a 9.9 Johnson
The other is this one
# 14' Sears Gamefisher Boat & Trailer
# 2 Seater w/ DepthFinder
# 35 HP Mercury Motor
I have looked at the boat mod on this forum of the 12 ft Lowes and really liked it. However, everyone in this forum recommends the 14ft. My real question is the 35 hp Merc on a 14 ft Jon Boat...is that too heavy of an engine for a small boat?
Thank you and I am glad to be a part of this forum
