[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 422113, member: 15636"] Hmmmmmm ... is your life insurance policy current? I don't mean to be so sarcastic :oops: , my apologies. OK, I'm not a jon boat guy and I didn't sleep at the Holiday Inn last night, but I did check some OEM catalogs from the [b]late 90s[/b] for 18' jon boats and 40hp is listed as the maximum rating. But then again, a new 2016 year Lund jon boat model 1852 (75" beam, 20" transom, 475-pound hull weight) lists 65hp as max OB for remote steering and 45hp for a tiller motor. My earlier catalogs don't differentiate between a controls or tiller motor, so I'd go by specs (beam/weight etc.) and cross-reference to something [i]similar to yours[/i]. FWIW I have a 60hp on an 800-pound 16-degree deadrise V-hull tin ... and she's scary nimble and fast, hitting 40mph (setup with controls motor). I'd imagine a jon would be screaming ... [/QUOTE]
