[QUOTE="towmater84, post: 349666, member: 13972"] Hey everyone, I'm new to this site but wanted to see what everyone thought about my project. I recently purchased a 12ft jon boat from a buddy. It was in ok shape but there was a lot of leaks. There was about a 2-3" hole in the back weld on the transom that I ended up using JB waterweld for as well as a few minor pin holes in the rails. I started off with a boat load of leaks and now im down to 2 leaks left. I purchased a small trailer for it last week and needless to say it needed some TLC also. But the trailer is finished, painted and the lights work so i'm back to focusing on the boat. I was wondering how big of a motor could or should I put on the boat? I've heard as big as a 10hp and as little as a trolling motor. I plan on using this mostly for duck hunting and fishing. Any ideas or suggestions on what is good or bad for this boat is helpful. Thanks in advance. I will post completed trailer photos as well as photos of the boat on here soon. [/QUOTE]
