[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 443818, member: 15465"] Brian - I don't have the exact dimension you need but can give you some insight. If you are going to be putting more than 50 hrs a year on your jet jon, I recommend considering a 4 stroke. It would cost you more, is heavier & bigger, but runs smoother, quieter, & uses about 1/3 less fuel. The prices on used VX110 are now below 3K. those engines are very reliable. The 2 stroke engines are about 18 inches high, while the 4 stroke I recently bought is 22 inches high. 2 stroke i had was 48 inch long pump-to-front, whereas the 4 stroke is about 54 inches long. figure about 24 inches wide either unit. Not sure of exact weight, but 2 stroke is light enough you can lift the engine without hoist. Not so for 4 stroke. I would look for a 16 foot or larger boat, as the engine takes up the last 1/3 of boat. I doubt that you can build one from scratch cheaper or better than a good used boat. [/QUOTE]
