so i have a 10ft lowe jon boat and i have been running a 50 lb thrust minkota on it and im tired of having to take the extra hour to get to my spots either hunting or fishing. So i found a great trade for a long tailed 9hp mud motor. The weight of the motor and gas isn't much more then the weight of the minkota and a huge marine battery so im not worried about the weight to much, even though i no im way over the weight capacity. I have been running this boat fully loaded for hunting and fishing for years and never had a problem. Im just worried about the hp, has any one else put a 9 horse on a 10ft?
