Aluminum Jon Boat Question?
May 20, 2008 by Earstealer | Posted in Boats & Boating
I have a aluminum total bottomed Lowe 1232 Jon boat and it is rated for a maximum of 3 HP. This sounds like an awfully small motor. Is it protected to put a larger motor on like a 5 or 6 HP?
Thanks.
A larger motor could reason the stern to SQUAT when you open the throtle. This would put you in danger of swamping your jon boat by taking water in over the stern, causing your boat to cave in or atleast fill with water.
Do Not exceed the ratings on a small vessel, horse power wise and consequence wise. Boat Safe!
