Hi guys. I am a newbie, many of you realized that by now. I am wondering would it be ok to run a 35 hp 1959 Johnson on a 14' aluminum fishing boat? The boat is just regular fishing boat with no steering wheel with tiller steering. Thanks

whats the boat rated for? I know I have a wide body 14' alum that I have a 40 on....it's rated for up to a 60. However my old 14' jon was skinny and only rated for a 15.

you better, put some type of remote control to the front of that boat. it's going to go nose up and i mean high. i use ezyglide stick steering and old johnson controller. on the middle seat of my 14' with a 15 hp 1955 rude. thats going to be a screaming machine..
