I don't have a picture of my boat. It's pretty impressive though...a 12' aluminum John Boat with a 7 1/2 hp outboard and an electric trolling motor, also equipped with a fish finder, oars and comfy padded seats!

I really wouldn't call that overkill just cause of the weight of it... My boat is 16' and has a 130 HP motor on it, and I'm looking for a 150 - 175+ motor for it... 
It's rated for 200...

I can't remember what he said the boat was rated for but it's a lot smaller than 35 hp. Somewhere around 12 I think

Apparently my son does too because he wants to get a bigger motor!!! He needs to reinforce the transom first as he's pretty sure a bigger motor would just become an expensive anchor!!

I've had the boat 2 years and have failed to get a pic of it floating..... I ussually take every advatage of it floating and running at the same time, to use it!!!!
Probably december, jan/or feb. Hopefully I'll have finances in order by then and I'm hoping to start shopping to try and find a 90 or newer 23'-28' Baja open bow.

It kicked that wrecks ***. And I just went through all of my pics on your boat... None of it floating. I could have sworn that I took one of it at the dock when we were out on the LOTO in May.
