It's guys like these that are inspiring me to get a jon boat. I'm thinking 25hp 2 stroke would be enough but I don't have any water experience at all. might be a little slow.

Hunter, I love FEC when the water is high. We used to have the Gator Chapter of the Antique Outboard Motor Club meets there twice in the winter months. We would tear it up with vintage 1950's wood Penn Yan 12' car toppers w/1950's Mercury 10HP outboards. More fun than a barrel of monkeys and yea, we would ruin good stuff too, more fun. Keep em coming...as long as everyone is OK the "stuff" can be fixed or replaced. I'm in FLL...been through a few.

I've got a 1951 Mercury KG-7 Hurricane I'm planning on running on a 10ft aluminum jon boat. It's equipped with a vintage aftermarket twist throttle so it's possible that'll give me enough control that I won't flip immediately

So much to say here. First, I really hope all is better since storm. Prayers to you and your family. Second the view is tight but man I feel like I have cypress in my hair after watching. Good stuff. Third is if you ever read comments on tiller vs console steering, 3:05 shows who the real king is. No tiller left behind.

Here is A DIY tip trick if you don't know about it. A half of cup of tap water inside of A clear plastic gallon jug shaken up good. Then release the air pressure by squeezing the bottom of the jug while opening the cap until the bottom of the jug if flat again. the last step let it sit for 24 hours.,or AKA 2 days for phase separation of the ethanol from your gasoline from regular fuels will be in the middle layer of the bottom of the jug. Water will be below the ethanol so from the ethanol part up. Is all pure fuel So slowly pour it out into A separate container for using that part of the fuel only mixed with sta bil & very little octane booster for your point loss regain back some. Could actually raise over regular octane rating from the beginning.

Be careful out there.&keep ripping those waves. Those flat tip nosed Jon boats need some old school weights out of old house window frames to balance the boat out level. Tied to the side on to eyelets for securing it.

A couple months ago i bought a 1951 Mercury KG-7 Super 10 Hurricane. It was locked up but i got it running. Apparently these were underrated and actually put out 16-22hp. I've been looking for a boat i could afford, but I'm broke so it hasn't gone well. Until tonight, when i bought a $100 10ft to flat bottom. When i told the guy i was going to put a ten horse on it he thought i was crazy. I'm watching KZfaq trying to figure out what i need to do to reinforce this junker so it doesn't bend in half the first time i hit full throttle

You guys use sta bil 360 fuel treatment with 0.00% ethanol free gasoline fuel. Even if you half to premix You're fuel to for those 2 stroke.,2 cycle fuel for all of those outboard boat motors that are. And the ones that are 4 stroke motors just the fuel with sta bil in it.

If there's none then add them on to the boats for safety by reasons alone. They help out with that front end bouncing around.&,etc. Everyone down there should know that's how boating wrecks.& accidents happen due to improper those weights should be one in the middle & at the front along both sides fastened down on buckle's.
