If you're gonna get a motor, get an old one. My Grandpa gave me an old 15hp thats about 20 or so years old. Only one tank of gas through it before i got it, gets my aluminum jon 35mph+
if id do this id have a briggs too or a kohler them are two of the best damn motors ever and i mean the older ones not this new chinese shit that breaks too easy
great little motors from what i have heard. I have a 14 foot jon boat i use alot when i dont want to spend the gas money for my bass boat. Been considering buying a briggs and strat motor for it.
@rednektwinz i agree with you on some of the smaller motors. Johnson/Evinrude are great little motors but i have had 2 big evinrudes 150 horse and i will never own anything but a merc on bass boats..
@bull5574 i know what you mean. my uncle had a 150 johnson he spent $2000 to rebuild and he treated it well and flushed it out everytime he got it on land but the damn thing had a ton of carb problems and corrosion issues. so we stick to johnson for the small outboards
I wouldnt say that Briggs engines on lawmowers last for years. My dad has a International cub cadet with a briggs engine that lasted 20 years before he bought a new one. Just keep the air filter,oil, fuel and cooling fins clean they will last a long time.
granted the boat looks heavy, but it should get up on plane. adjust the trim down to the lowest peg, and make sure the throttle is adjusted proper. when i bought mine, at wide open, the carb was only 60% open.
Hi, I am about to buy a 16ft jonboat with a suzuki 6ph 4stroke - would it plane, what would be the top speed, is it easy to steer at slow speeds? Love the boat already!
I love these motors aside from the crap carb they put on them. So much more reliable when fitted with the older non emissions carb. but shhh....I never did that...
@MegaSparky73 i couldn't tell you over the net.But look it up and it'll give you all the info you need. But be careful not to blow the motor! You can over rev it doing that....But its a little lever on the back of the motor that goes to the carb.
To much stuff on your boat if it was a bare Jon boat it would go considerably faster.

JAREDTHECOOL1 2 years ago
A lot of people don't realize that little motors can really move a light boat.
The difference between a 10 hp and a 5 hp lies in power not so much in speed.

No weight up front, if the boat would get flat and plane you would go a little faster..

It's a factory-built Briggs outboard. You can buy them from Cabela's, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro Shops (I think), Fleet Farm, and other outlets.

She pushes your boat just fine. I like that briggs.
I use a nissan 5HP on a 12ft portabote.
Granted, our boats are not fast, but they fish well, and get you there.
Also, we don't pay a ton in gas.
