[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 387649, member: 8516"] Well, no, you wouldn't. Try one bucket, it may be enough, combined with the rest of the forward weight to bring the bow down. 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 [u]still [/u]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. [/QUOTE]
