5-10 hp gas motor should be more than adequate. An electric motor would alos work well, especially on small lakes or sloughs without significant current.
The right size for an electric outboard motor for a 10 foot fishing boat seems to be 4 - 5 - 6 hp, 8 - 9.9 hp or 15 - 20hp. It simply depends on what kind of fishing boat it is.
The answer is relative. I have a 4 1/2 HP motor on my 12 foot aluminum boat. It gets me where I need to go.
Depends if it fiberglass or Aluminium. For Fiberglass you would be looking at around 50hp-60hp and and Aluminium would be between 30hp and 40hp.
not sure how wide your Jon boat is but I would go with a 3.5HP or 5HP outboard no bigger
The smallest motor for a 16 foot Lowe boat is about 30 horsepower. The maximum size should be no more than 100 horsepower.
The top speed of a 22-foot boat powered by a 260 hp outboard motor can vary based on factors like the boat's weight, design, and hull type. Generally, such a setup can reach speeds between 40 to 55 knots (approximately 46 to 63 mph) under optimal conditions. However, actual performance may differ based on load and water conditions.
It depends a lot on the size of the boat. If it say, a 12 foot boat, probably about 7 or 8 knots (about 10 mph). On a bigger boat slower. As was said these small engines are used mainly for dinghies and for fishing. Answer: I have a 8 foot fiberglass dinghy with a 4 Hp outboard. My GPS says 11km/h under full throttle on a calm lake.
2500 lbs no motor
i have a 50 hp force on a 18 foot invader boat a i pull one just fine only shows problem when u have three or more on tube so have fun
Speed is dependant on a number of factors. Most importantly the size, type and weight of the boat that it is on and the number of people on board. A 50 HP outboard will push a small aluminum fishing boat a lot fast than it will a 20 ft fiberglass boat. I have a 50 HP 2 stroke that will push a 16 foot aluminum boat 35 MPH.
It mostly depends on the weight or displacement of the craft you put it on. Put it on a little 10 foot flat-bottomed speed boat, you might get 60mph. Put it on a 30 foot pontoon boat, you will do good to get 15mph. It also makes a huge difference what pitch propeller you install. You must match the pitch both to the HP of the motor as well as the size of the boat. Of course, the absolute fastest it will go is if you drop it out of an airplane. Then it will go around 220 mph!
The speed would depend greatly on the boat that the motor is placed on. Putting it on a 14 foot narrow lightweight dory, you might get near 15-20 kt. Putting it on something a little less efficient, probably 10 or 12 kt. You also have to make sure that the propeller is matched to the intended usage. A 10 HP outboard made for trolling on a large boat might not be quite the same as a 10 HP made for cruising.
