    Should I upgrade a 14' V-hull to a 16' Jon boat?

    I ran a 9.9 merc on my 16 foot flat bottom, and it got on plane with me 250 pounds, my cousin 190, and my brother 130. I also had a 25 horse evinrude on the back, the pull rope broke on me at the ramp so I tossed my 9.9 on it. I would say it ran over 10mph.

    Engine value

    around here, (tampa) I would imagine seeing it on craigslist for 600-700, but I dont think anyone would pay over 400-500 for it. I put my early 90s evinrude 25 on craigslist for 750 and didnt get any offers.

    looking at a new tin, with no title ????

    I have '98 mercury 9.9 that I can throw on it. I used it on my last 16 foot and it pushed it nice. Its only a 10 minute run with the 9.9 to most places I go but I will be upgrading the boat to a 35 - 50 horse with remote steer eventually.

    Trailer size question.

    I think thats what I will do, the smaller trailer I might turn into a bike trailer for my mom to use to haul her and my little brothers bikes to the trail. she cant lift them in my truck because its lifted, and bike racks that are half way decent are all 250 vbucks and up for a hitch mount.

    long shaft on a short shaft boat

    get a jack plate, or even convert your motor to a short shaft. As far as I know all you need is the driveshaft, and leg from a short shaft to do the swap. Would help if you told us what motor and boat youve got.

    Took my mom and dad fishing.

    thats awesome, I always wanted to take my grandfather fishing but he was too afraid of boats, he could hardly keep his calm in the car if you were driving anything over 50 mph.

    looking at a new tin, with no title ????

    heres a few crap pictures of my " investment ". Only thing I dont like about it is there is no bench in the back, only 1 in the front by the deck. So I guess if I take it out I will be using a lawn chair for a captains chair lol.

    Trailer size question.

    What is better, I already have 2 trailers. the larger one is perfect length, maybe 8 inches too long, but is about a foot gap in between the boat and the fenders on the wheels. The smaller one I have not measured but if anything it may be a few inches short, the boat originally came on this...

    Post a Pic of your...trailer?

    I bet that is used for some really steep drop off, maybe like to get over some rocks, the wheels can take the abuse and keep the rest above the danger zone and nothing will get caught up. I wish I had something like that, then I could launch anywhere ! lol. For a second it looked like it had air...
