[QUOTE="saltybob, post: 419447, member: 14832"] I bought a 1442 Alumacraft flat bottom jon boat. (1442 means its 14 feet long and 42 inches wide.) I plan to fish mostly in calm waters near home and not travel very far. I’d like to buy an outboard motor that is small, light and easy to handle, but powerful enough to plane the boat. I fish by myself. I weigh 180 lbs., the boat weighs 230 lbs., and I carry only a 3 gallon portable gas tank and fishing gear. I’ve looked at the 9.8 to 10 HP 4 stroke motors. They weigh over 80 lbs., but I'd much prefer a considerably smaller, lighter motor. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. [/QUOTE]
