I have a 1236 G3 Jon Boat and I wanted some opinions on what size gas motor wouold be a good fit. I use the boat mostly on small lakes and I currently have a Minn Kota 45lb Electric motor.
I've seen the following motors for sale:
2003 5HP Mercury - $600
1994 6HP Yamaha - $625 (Long Shaft)
1992 8HP Nissan - $450
2003 9.9HP Yamaha - $1200 (Long Shaft)
I'm thinking the 8HP Nissan. Thoughts???????
I believe I also need to stick with a short shaft motor correct?
