The Weldcraft 1248 jon I ordered is rated for 30 HP max. It has 24" sides, 21" transom, 72" beam and around 340 lbs with full middle seat livewell. I weigh 155 lbs and will be fishing alone. Trolling motor, battery, fishing accessories I see to be around 200 lbs max. Then you will have weight of engine. The guy I am buying the boat from told me that is 30 HP is too dangerous. I always read people say get the max HP rated for the boat but is 30 HP too much? My thinking is better to have too much than too little. Thoughts?
