[QUOTE="smackdaddy53, post: 365340, member: 10154"] My boat is definitely not bare bones. Check out my build on the jon boats and v bottoms under "smackdaddy's pole dancer tunnel jet". 1652 with 6" step pods, front and rear deck, trolling motor, 4 optimas under console, 25 gallon gas tank under bow deck. Right now I am running it with 5 gallons of gas in the tank. I may fill it up and see what happens but I am not too optimistic. I may be going with a 90 or even a 115 by the looks of it. My motor is strong. Less than 80 hours, fresh carbs, about to throw in some carson racing reeds and maybe an exhaust tuner to gain some HP. I may even do some real motor work and see what happens. I would like to keep my draft where it is, close to 6" but don't see that happening with a 90 or 115. Brand new stainless 3 blade impeller with no sharpened edges or buffed jet castings but I will do that at some point. I have not weighed my boat but I guesstimate 1000# with everything plus me which may be conservative. Here is my framing- 2x2x1/8" tubing with 1/8" decking.
