I have a Lowe 1448 jon boat and I'm going to be getting a 50 HP 2-stroke Yamaha which I already have a jet pump for. Hopefully I can get 30 to 35 HP at the nozzle. The boat is rated for a 25 HP motor so I am going to build up the transom and put a steering wheel somewhere. But I don't know where to put the steering wheel and "captains chair." I like option A but I'm afraid there will be too much weight in the back with the oversized motor, center console, and steering components. Option B is basically a dashboard the width of the boat with a steering wheel on the right hand side. The stars with the numbers next to them indicate where the first, second, and third persons could sit. Note: I can put the battery and 10 gallon gas tank wherever. Usually it is just me when I go out on the river. What do you think? Option A,B,C, or other? I currently have a 25 HP Evinrude tiller with a jet pump on the boat which works fine for one person. I am getting about 15 HP at the nozzle. Two people and it gets pretty bogged down.
THANKS,
