I've been considering putting a little outboard on our Jon boat, but have zero experience with them. Typically I'm all about getting something old for cheap and getting it going again, but in this case I'm all for something that's just going to work and not leave us paddling. I'm also not putting a $2500 Yamaha on a boat we bought for $1. A few questions if you don't mind... What hp would you recommend for a 14' Jon boat? Are there certain brands to run from? What things should I consider if buying a used model? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
