Thanks for the info TK, I seen a video of a guy with a 14ft jon and a 9.9 gamefisher running 20-25mph on a lake. I may be leaning that direction since it would be a little more practical if we took it to a lake.

I had a 14ft jon with a 25 johnson on it...that I got rid of and then had a 16ft big jon with a 50 merc tiller steer and got rid of that too. Either one would probably have worked.
