Re: Ouachita jon boat max hp
I got a 14 foot ouachita as well was wondering what would happen if i throw a 40 HP engine on it
The transom will pass up the bow, over, under, around, or through it.
I once had a 16' ouachita flat bottom bass boat, with gunwales about 10 inches wide full of foam. It was unsinkable, and planed off nicely with a 20 Merc and forward stick steering.
I had about 4 kids at the time, and they could all run to one side and look over it at the fishies without endangering anyone or any thing.
I wish I had another like it. I've never even seen anything like it since.
