Hello all..im new to the site....but anyways im wanting to build a motor to run the rivers here in PA with...im wondering how hard this build will be for setting up the engine... i have the tools and the mental capacity to build the frame and such with a few pointers and by looking at the different pics posted...but im wondering if this motor would be enough to push a 12- 14 ft xtra wide jon boat pretty decent...im not sure if i want a long tail or a short tail because i have no expierence with any of these type motors...

check out my videos in the video section. im runnin a backwaterinc 23 and was gpsn 18-20 in a 1644 with high winds and rough water
