Over the years, I've used a sack of sand--sold for traction assistance in Winter in Wisconsin. Stash it in the forward-most position in the boat and see what you have.Back when I was lighter, I had a 10 ft jon, and put a 29lb Evinrude 3hp on it. The stern had about 2 inches of clearance on still water. I was not comfortable.Some of these skinny young guys can play with a 10 ft jon, but we men of substance are not likely to be comfortable in them.Be safe, have fun.</blockquote>
