[QUOTE="bean210, post: 385037, member: 5697"] has anyone here taken a 9.9hp outboard and put it on a 12 or 14 ft jon boat of various widths to see how it would perform(distance to plane, top speed)? I have been curious about the different advantages/disadvantages of any given width. you would have to have the same engine, pilot, and conditions for each boat what is the conventional wisdom when it comes to jon boat width? will a 48" plane better than a 32"? looking at various youtube videos, it doesn't seem to matter what the width is, all the various sizes seem to get on plane and top out about the same speed just wondering if anyone has ever spent an afternoon testing this :?: [/QUOTE]
