[QUOTE="john3, post: 202570, member: 5972"] Hi everyone - looking for a little advice. I currently have a nice running 2.5hp Mercury and am working on a redo on a 16ft Dilly trailer. I am starting to consider what boat I want to buy. Whatever I purchase, I would like to use my 2.5 hp Mercury to putter around (no more than a trolling motor - really) until I can get the money together for a bigger motor. I have the option to buy a 14' x 36" jon or a 15' x 42" jon. Do you think that little motor will push these around at trolling motor speed? I used to have it on a Deep V 12' and it pushed it ok. Thanks for you advice - and I know that a bigger motor would be tons better I just don't have the $$$ right now. [/QUOTE]
