[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 452039, member: 15266"] What year Johnson do you have? All of the 4 cyl crossflow 90-115's from 1978-1998 weigh 315 with a jet foot. If you have a newer 60 degree it may be more. I wouldn't use a jack plate, but the power lift like I have used as it doesn't add any set back. You want to avoid setback if you can. Worst case scenario you could always add float pods. Just know that with pods the boat effectively becomes a flats boat and you will NOT be able to trim out in say 1-2' swells. You will plow into them. What hp does the boat call for? Mine calls for 75hp. The motor I have was a factory 90/65 so it pulls up as 65hp at the insurance company. Pretty nice because I have a 115 powerhead on there :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
