ohio state buckeye?? fish at alumn creek any?? i grew up fishing there... from canton... live in north carolina what kind of boat do you have?? 4 your trolling motor. 4 a small boat a transom mounted one works great, you can mount it anywhere.

Well i finally put my 565 on last weekend and tested it out last night at the lake. I had my jon boat up to 32 mph and the depth still read on the screen. I think that where and how i mounted it on the transom should be fine except for the rooster tail it shoots up. i guess i can live with that...

Yeah it hauls *** and planes out almost instantly. When i have the hydrofoil on it feels like your floating ha ha. The boat is a Landau 1470, so it is really stable whether your taking a ride or fishing.... I think it's a great first boat.

Here is what it looks like now... hopefully i can work on getting the decks done this winter before spring rolls around.

This is my first boat! I got it for a deal. Cut a tree down and a little cash exchange and i was floating around in my first jon boat. I had to get a different trailer for it and a few months ago the engine in the pic died on me. 1969 evinrude 18hp. I didn't want to put any money into it so i...

I have a 96' johnson 25hp on a 14' jon boat and avg when i cruise around 22- 23 mph. That's a good speed you'll probably get the better gas mileage on rather than having the throttle mashed the whole time. I've had mine up to 27.5mph but i haven't had it on a calm lake yet. I just got it about...

Well i think i finally came to a conclusion with my Hydrofoil. I went out on sunday with my fishing buddy and the engine was bare with no whale tail. The conditions were less than perfect on the lake... 15 mph winds and very very choppy. I had the boat top speed 26 mph for about 30 sec. then...

just wondered if you like your humminbird fish finder?? i was looking at getting a 565 hummin bird for my jon boat.

You'll like walleye fishing it's pretty fun. normally you troll for them... you can use different lures and an erie derrie, not sure on the spelling... put some earth worm on the erie derrie usually does the trick. not sure if you can find those lures down in the south. i'm sure theres a ton of...

Well i went out last weekend with out the hydrofoil but i was by myself so i'm going to wait till this weekend to make up my mind about that crazy thing. by myself 28mph on rough water, winds about 15 mph.... not too bad. The boat handled great!

I live in the raleigh area. Only have been fishing falls lake... since spring 2008. originally from north east ohio... miss walleye fishing in lake erie and other lakes up there... Are there any walleye in western nc??? I don't miss the snow at all. there's no way i could make myself fish...

If your still working on your trailer project i have a 14ft jon boat... wide body... but i bought a brand new trailer for it last spring. I can take a pick of it for you if you still need some ideas. let me know... hopefully going fishing this weekend so the trailer will be empty!! Good Luck.

Anybody on here fish with a jon boat in NC??

I'm looking to upgrade fishfinders from an old garmin 100 to a Humminbird 565. I just wondereded if anybody had any luck with this brand and or model. I'm putting the old fish finder on the front deck of my 14' jon boat and the new one on the back. Will Having 2 transducers on the transom hurt...

Well i took the boat back out last monday and tested it some more. I had less weight in the boat. The winds were about 10-15 mph and the water was a little rough. The engine ran great! I did noticed that it was a little lighter in the *** end when at high speeds. The boat did seem to float more...

I took the new engine out yesterday. When i picked it up the hydrofoil was already on. I was very pleased with the way the boat handled. Although the 25 hp might have something to do with that. It did seem like the *** end of the boat was out of the water more than before. When i turned the boat...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to get the engine in a couple of hours from the boat shop. I guess i'll just have to experiment with the hydrofoil. I'll run it without first and then maybe monday i'll put it on and take it for a test run. Thanks again

I am fairly new to boating and fishing fresh water... I have a wide 14 ft. jon and i'm putting a 1996 johnson 25 hp on it. stepping up from a 69' evinrude 18hp. anyway this new "used'' engine has a doel-fin hydrofoil stabilizer that comes with it and i just wondered if putting it on the engine...
