To much stuff on your boat if it was a bare Jon boat it would go considerably faster.
-
excellent power output for a 5hp wow

@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

@eatpogs what carb did youuse

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+

@14wasp ikr. THe way to go with small engines now is Honda, or Kawasaki.
-
@Motorfordtoyota Very true! that new one has a plastic cam.
It doesn't even sound as nice as the older one :(
-
@14wasp The old one (pre 1998 or so) were terrific. But the new ones with their platsic cams suck.
Pull the govener and see what it can really do. :)

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...
