[QUOTE="josh870, post: 381658, member: 14040"] not sure if this will be helpful, but i borrowed a newish 3hp yamaha for my 12ft jon boat, and it was just awful. the speed in calm clear water was ok, but any wind or weeds and it barely moved. not to mention the tiny gas tank and horrible shaking. i bought a 1967 johnson 6hp and love it, much quieter than you would think for a 2 stroke, and its a 2 cylinder so it doesnt shake you to death. the canoe probably cant handle a 6hp 50lb motor, so i would go with a 2 cylinder 4hp johnson. they are so easy to maintain too. anyway if you have to deal with currents, wind, or weeds, get the most powerful 2 stroke you can find. hope that helps [/QUOTE]
