Hi guys, I'm new here, just found out about this site from someone on bassboatcentral as I have a nitro z7 fiberglass bass boat. I'm looking to get a jon and need some input. I live in central Illinois, and most our lakes are 25hp limit. I'm going to start fishing tournaments and I can't use my big boat, so I'm looking at jon's to transform into a bass rig. I'm looking at 1860's and 1756 trackers at bass pro. My question is, does anybody have an 1860 with a 25 on it? If so, how does it do? I've heard it will get on plane, but only do low 20's but then struggle when you add water to the livewell (cooler). There's only 124 pounds between the 2 boats, but man the extra room sure looks worth it. Heard the stability between the 2 was huge also. And that's important to me cause I'm about 290lbs myself and when I set the hook I tend to shake the boat a bit. Anyway, this site looks awesome, and I appreciate any input you guys can give me.
