Taking the 200hp 14 ft Jon Boat out for a Sunday Cruise

Final video of the 200hp 14 ft Jon boat. As you can imagine, the combination is a little much and not worth keeping around. However, we have some other projects and video ideas in the works.
Big thanks to Luke Bosworth (@lukebosworth_ on Instagram) for the top notch camera work and footage.

[@Ray56z]

@@danielspoon1234 Being knocked out makes it slightly hard to tread or swim. Even having others close filming doesn't mean they'll get there in the 6-10 seconds to sink below the surface. Even real stunt performers wear safety gear, know they're risking their lives but it'll take more than the usual mishap to take it-not a bounce out of a proposing boat and a head bang on a gunnel.

[@clayrib3512]

Excellent! I am from Brazil. I love these ideas. Add Flaps for the vessel not to override and to glide better. Place PET bottles in the compartments to avoid submersion. And put a few gallons of water on the bow for a better waterline. Wear vests! Congratulations!

[@PappyfromtheKeys]

All I can add is to suggest a 1500-2000 GPH bilge pump. Small boats (Like a Gheenoe or jon boat) require a big pump to get the water out fast! Been there done that. Love the viideos.....ignore the haters!

[@sammylacks4937]

That's what I like right there. Plenty of HP and for those that believe it's too much , how far you crank the throttle is optional. Hydro blaster. Ya ll be careful. My man.

As another Florida boater, i agree with this message

[@stumpbumpers]

As someone who has been on the water all my 45 years, owned my first motor boat at 12 years old, own 6 currently and owned dozens, that motor will porpoise that boat without warning and it will also fold that boat without warning. Fun times🎉

[@edwardranno7119]

Yep one day he’s gonna hit the throttle and the boat is gonna fold in half.hope the dog is not on that boat.he’s more than welcome to Kill himself but not the innocent dog

[@c.c.1070]

@@edwardranno7119 yea, my thoughts exactly. But I’m guessing this type of thing is geared more for the “Johnny Knoxville” type kids. I’ve owned boats all my life from my 1st 12’ jon w/ a 7.5 up to my current 35’ w/ twin 300s and my first thought was a case of overcompensating for lacking elsewhere, lol. I get the novelty in it, just not the thirst for attention on the water. This will be my last year w/ the 35’, bcuz I want a more comfortable ride out to the canyons. Maybe I should get quad 25 horses for my NT390 before they put the 450Rs on it😂

Awesome. Back in 1970 I had a 15 foot Brant with a 150 short shaft mercury Biggest motor they made She would do 102 in a straight small chop on lake Martin in Alabama it was FAST but didn’t like to turn Running on the cavitation plate I was young and thought I was bulletproof. Sold it bought a 15 foot jet with a 454 525 up not as fast but will turn on a dime and give you change Still have it and I’m still alive

[@budwonder1]

525 horse power

[@henrymontero4470]

Bad ass man! I'm gonna show people this video every time they give me shit for having a 60 on my 14ft Johnsen skiff. All you need for your setup is to close in that rear deck so water can stop getting and add some stabilizers for a hydro foil!

[@markanton2349]

I always use the analogy of a jet ski type watercraft with a 200+ horsepower engine doing 80mph. That shuts them up pretty quick. And it's smaller than this jon boat.

[@whitetrashgarage8110]

Yep, my Jon is rated for a 35 but I found a steal of a deal on a ew 60 etec, everyone thought it was a bad idea, even the dealer was a bit iffy about it... Boat rips! And, if you're smart about it, more power is safer.

[@johngjacobi]

Great dog! Congrats on the project

[@barryf5479]

Where you able to go full throttle? What's the highest speed you reached?

[@lh0506]

I love the sound of Merc EF200 when this boat is idling under the bridge.

I had that same engine on a 22 ft mako that weighed 3,000 lb and it did 46 mph. Well done with this 😂

I got a 19’ omc quest center console weighs in at 2800 with 60 gallons of fuel. 115 Johnson special, 38mph.

[@whitetrashgarage8110]

I have a new 60etec on my 16' Jon (basically the same as this) and with the right prop when trimmed out its much quicker than it should be (rated for 35). It hops out of the water fast, and I love messing with guys in fast looking boats. Even if they beat me, it's still a chuckle to watch them get butt hurt when I'm still keeping pace with them and they have to go wide open to just barely pull away.

[@backyardboatracing1423]

a 15" offshore midsection and a cleaver that thing would be the sickest

[@jjcdrummer]

These guys are freaking nuts.. I keep looking at it and thinking, if they can lower the center of the gravity on the motor, it might make it more stable. Idk enough to know if you can shorten the drive portion of it or not. Could just lower the top of the transom but that puts the prop lower. Sounds like a shorter midsection is the key. Maybe some aluminum square stock reinforcement to keep the hull from folding would be keen too? Just insane lol

[@CodingWithUnity]

I think you made some people jealous with that motor 🤣

[@cun.t]

here we can observate a very good boy sailing on tha boat just chilling

[@jamesmarsh1831]

It would work perfectly being more stable and float better by lowering the engine another notch or two, add another 150 to 200 pounds up front along with adding a set of side stabilizers to each side of the boat, not outriggers or pontoons but side stabilizers that are about a foot to 16 inches wide by the same deep and run at least half of the length of the boat and taper in, also add a bilge pump, you would be amazed what that would do to help, then you would be able to run closer if not wide open

[@ChainsawFPV]

I would def be scraping off those 200 stickers and putting on some 90 hp ones.

[@markanton2349]

I'm all for this kind of experimentation. I have done similar on much smaller jon boats and found that the flat bottom design induces drag which starts to porpoising which is difficult to stop at speed. I would like to see you do this with a 14-foot aluminum v hull of light weight design. you'll have less wetted surface in the front so there will be less propensity to porpoise because of induced drag on the front of the hull.

[@nolanzaic987]

That's exactly what I said when they first built the boat. They need a v hull

[@whitetrashgarage8110]

I enjoy tweaking with my Jon boat. But, there is a point where the drag builds up so much that it becomes inefficient and takes exponentially more power to go slightly faster, and as the turbulence/pressures build up it becomes less and less stable. Sort of like when they were trying to break the sound barrier in the 40s, they had to change up a bunch of things to beat the turbulence created at those high speeds that weren't noticed before.

OK now you need a couple of flotation boxes on either side of the transom which will also give you more effective water line.
