I run a 16x48 jon with a 67 20hp jonny. with just me 21mph. 2 of us 18mph, 4 people 13 mph.. all gps numbers. I would run a 84 or newer 25hp to get the prop rated hp. "repaint the hood and decal it with your own hp rating" This will throw most people off who don't know how to read the motor tags. Or welch plugs.. Below is a friends hot rod jon... 16 ft with V6 power sitting on a 10 inch CMC jack plate... Both motors in pic say 115. Both motors have been repainted and "re-decaled"....
Now that is awesome. Why did y'all even bother with changing the stickers if you only went down to 115? That boat is rated for what, 50 hp, so it seems that you would still get the ticket with the 115 stickers as opposed to 150 stickers.Riverjet502 said:I run a 16x48 jon with a 67 20hp jonny. with just me 21mph. 2 of us 18mph, 4 people 13 mph.. all gps numbers.

How fast does a jon 16 footer go with a 150hp.
Nothing but prop in the water.

The boat isn't mine, it belongs to a friend who is 75 now I believe. A little bit about the boat. The owner owns a body shop and has had some pretty quick boats in his day. The jon evolved out of "parts" laying around his shop. The windshield is a power window regulator out of some car. He installed plexy-glass instead of glass. He likes the wind screen up for cruis'n then hits the dash switch to lower it for a couple mph faster.. The rear hatch you see up is on a trunk re-lease. Hits another dash button and the rear hatch pops open. Just in case you get thirsty beating up on the real boats???. He uses a hot foot for the throttle so he can keep both hands on the wheel ( safety first you know) to operate the jack-plate and trim.
Both motors in pic were purchased used from the DNR then of course freshed up a bit. The 17ft edge tunnel next to the jon has a very tuff time trying to run away from the jon. Both boats are pretty much neck & neck except in ruff water the tunnel will skim over the waves. The jon will hit 73 on gps. Getting there is a hoot!!! Blink you are there.. It's a true flattie all lift... Where the boat hails from the DNR are never around and its mostly a bunch of locals....(free to interpet that any way you like) running the river. Be for warned you see an old man cruis'n in an old jon he may just give you the spanking of a life time...
