[QUOTE="mnjonnie, post: 449765, member: 23530"] Hello all, I have this jon boat I acquired from my grandfather that has his 10 horse honda on the back. I installed a custom bass boat deck, trolling motor, and batteries but I took a huge hit on my speed. I am interested in doubling the horsepower on the back to gain speed but my boat doesn't have a coast guard tag. The model number of the Polar Kraft is 19761 but I called PK to learn they don't have any records that go back that far. The transom spans a little more than 5 feet of width but I don't know if the boat can handle anything like 20+ horsepower with all the weight. If you know the max hp rating or have any advice/suggestions that would be appreciated if you think the boat can handle it. It is a flat bottom jon with a squarish front and a short shaft motor. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
