Some years back we had a 13’ Alumacraft V-hull with a 9.8 Mercury motor. Later we graduated to the larger, flat-bottom, aluminum Tracker. Naturally, the Tracker was an upgrade, but.. there’s a lot to be said for the V-hull, and the way it cuts through the water. We now have a pontoon boat, but I still miss that little Alumacraft.
Many years ago the family had a camp with three boats. One was a hull like yours but we has an Evinrude 15. Loved it. Quick lil’ bugger.
As a kid I had a 8ft Jon boat rated for 3hp. So I put a 7.5hp on it with a slide throttle (Scott Atwater). While doing a top speed run I moved up to the bow to help trim the boat. It started to turn then the motor went full lock sideways spinning the boat on a dime at full throttle. Somehow I got back there and cut off the engine. Lots of fun. Thanks for bringing back memories.
That sounds dangerous and badass lol

That’s awesome! Nice setup man, I’m looking into getting a Jon boat and the upgrades seem endless! BTW it looks like we’re from the same area, take care and happy fishing 🎣
Love your setup! My son and I are wanting to get a boat for simple fishing and this looks great. We dont need a big fancy bass boat just something to get out there and have some fun.
Small 12 14 foot boasts are really comfortable for 1 or 2 people i have a 12 foot mirror craft 2 stoke merc 8 dose 20 with me and some weight 😀

And one 1983 Evinrude 15hp short shaft tiller outboard motor..
Cannot wait to try them all out.

That's one heck of a really nice rig you have, man. Great video!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Hell yeah bro! I’m ready for a ride now!!
Yeah buddy!
Great video man, nice rig!
Thank you 🙏
I rented a boat with the same motor and I watched this video before and I’m back to tell me everything you said . I was prepared. Never drove a boat ever. Good video.
I ended up with the 1236 because it can fit with trailer inside of my shed out back. Started with a 50 Minn Kota trolling motor, but quickly realized I needed more oomph. 6hp Mercury ended up being the motor I chose, and it get's this very narrow boat up to 19.5mph on a calm lake! That feels very fast for such a tiny boat, I've driven Jet Skis on Vacation before and still feel this tiny aluminum boat feels quick.
Enjoy your bigger little boat I love mine!
That’s good speed!
Tooooo fast!!!! Get me on your life insurance

That's a pretty smooth ride and quiet
Yeap! Love how quiet it is.
I see this post is a year old now but I have an Alumacraft 1436 and a 2006 4 stroke mercury she definitely gets the job done as long as the wind is not over 10mph. Good Video brother! Fish On👌🏾
Awesome! I still have this boat and motor and still love it. 🤘

I have a tohatsu 9.8 on mine. Great little motor, quiet, sips gas, starts easy.
By the way, your merc is made by tohatsu. All merc and Suzuki motors 20hp and down are made by tohatsu. They’ve made motors for the Japanese commercial fishing industry for decades.
Make sure you run ethanol eliminator or ethanol free gas
Ohio river? Aurora maybe?
Whee do I get ethanol free gas? I’m in Ohio too btw
I have a 1436 Alumacraft that’s decked out and has a bow mount trolling motor. Do you think this will be too heavy for my setup? (adding an extra 85 lbs to the rear)
Hey thanks for the video. I’m looking to buy the same setup. What is the slowest trolling speed with one person?
Nice motor. I like the 4 stroke engines too.
Your lady has a nice smile.
Looking to buy my first boat. This looks like so much fun and ideal
same here man. the 9.9 looks like the way to go for my first one may go bigger in time
The manual for the tiller F-N-R shift version calls it the "2006 model", but your engine is 2016. Does that mean they continued to make gear shift and tiller shift in parallel after 2006?
Build yourself a jack plate I made one for my dads 14 foot polarcraft with an old 80s model game fisher 15 hp we only moved the motor up about 1 1/2” but it has 5” of setback and that helps your prop get more bite we picked up 4 mph for a top speed of 25
Great motor to modify as well, make the restricted plate slightly bigger and whack on an 11 pitch prop, you’ll get an extra 5-8mph on it
I have the same setup haven't tried it yet. Does it feel tippy? Do you recommend putting weight in front or was it not that bad?
Nice set up. I am looking at the exact same motor for my 94 Alweld 1542. Did you pick a long or short shaft. From transom to keel is 17" on my boat which is rated to a 25 horse.
Short shaft
Wellsburg Bridge! Shadyside OH viewer here. Nice to see someone local!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🙏
"let er eat" I like that woman already. Sweet lil boat, I downsized over the years to a jon for lightweight for the kind of fishing I do now. hope to find more of your vids.
Haha! Thank you
What can you expect to pay for a clean used jon boat, say 5yrs old (16-17’)
Nice.
Just got me the Tohatsu 9.9 efi. Cant wait to get it on my restored 13’ low side gheenoe.
Hell yeah! Those gheenoes are sweet!! I’ve been wanting one
I have the same motor on a 16' Grumman. It won't go over 7mph. It's funny to see what the little motor can do on the boat It's supposed to be on....
I have a 1436 too.
Can I ask you for your opinion/suggestion based on your experience so far?
I am stuck between two motors for my upgrade.
Either the new fuel injected 9.8 from Tohatsu/Mercury (35% better fuel economy vs the outgoing motor) OR…
The fuel injected 9.9 from Suzuki that has about 1/3 more displacement but is severely choked to bring it down from 20hp to 9.9. It is only 12lbs heavier and almost the same price. I can then later have the option to bump it to a 20hp for a few hundred.
The 9.8 should be smoother running and more efficient. The 9.9/20 would be able to cruise at half throttle in the low 20s mph… and it’s only 12lbs heavier.
What would you choose?
Nice! I have a 15 Merc. 2 stroke on a 12 ft FG Gamefisher. Stout boat. Rated for 14 hp. Scary fast!
I have the same thing it is like you say scary fast

What river are you on? I’m thinking of getting a 1436 and want to take it on the Monongahela River. There’s barges and other boat traffic. How do you think it will handle. I watched your video with the 2.5 Mercury that’s the motor I was thinking of getting.
I was on the Ohio River with it last night crazy barge traffic lol... she did pretty well but I have the 9.9 on it now.
Nice setup! New to your channel 👍
Thank you 🙏
I've been told you can convert this to a 15hp just by changing the carb.
Sweet motor made by tohatsu for mercury since 1988 boys. You also get a 5 year warranty when bought new versus a 3 year from mercury, they are great motor.
Just bought a Lowe 14-40 m with a 9.9 4 stroke on it. Got it for $600 because the engine was seized and gas in the crank case. Drained the crank case and got the engine freed up. Hope to have it on the water this weekend.
Heck yeah! That’s a steal
@@5050fishing yeah just gotta figure out the gas in the crank case. The float didn't appear to be stuck, but I'm gonna check a couple of possibilities. Any advice would be appreciated.
What's the stability like on that boat with the motor. Would both of yall be able to stand in it comfortably. I just got a 1436 and haven't got to take it out yet.
Yea we both stand no problem
Awesome platform!!!!!!
Do you leave the motor attached while driving down the road or is that bad for the transom
I’m buying one next week 🤙 never been on a boat before or been fishing but I’m going for it
I've launched my boat twice so far not afraid to admit I've asked people to back my truck up once lmao
Nice video. I'm thinking about getting one of these boats but what concerns me is the stability of the boat. Like when a person stands up is it really wobbly? Plus I'm new subscriber to your channel and I did smash the like 👍 button. Anyhow if you couldn't confirm that or make another video about the stability of this kind of Boat it would be awesome. Thanks and safe boating... Watching from Northern California.. Little South from San Francisco.
Awesome man thank you! It’s not bad man. I’m 260lbs and myself and another grown man can stand and fish
Flat bottoms are stable 👍
Wear you pfd and kill switch laniard all the time. You’ll love it 😊

Is that the Cardinal Plant in the background? I drive past there all the time.
I was just at that creek doing the exact same thing you did... Getting top speeds on my 1436 with the same motor.
Haha awesome!!! Were your speeds similar?
@@5050fishing Vhat"s the weight on the boat? A merry Christmas from Norway
Jus came across channel.. some old vids.. u had the catch fish or die trin shirt.. did u sell those or still sell
I still have about 300 shirts lol.. haven’t been pushing them lately.
My 18 9.9 real laggy doesn't want to full throttle idk maybe hitting rev limiter on a lund 16 but my 1976 zuki 9.9 push no problem why ?
Hi there . Have the same boat and was thinking of getting a new merc 9.9 or the 8 . They weight the exact same size and all
You know how much speed difference the 8 would be vs the 9.9?
The 8 is cheaper built . The 9.9 can be a 15 , the 8 is basicly like a 6
I like see a video on how you installed your Electric Motor, I got the same Johnboat..
Drops Faith off at ramp............. "OMG?!!!!!!! BOAT GOES WAAAAY FAAASTER!!!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
21 with 2 people. Thats epic with that little motor
She does pretty good
The look in that girls face is the same look in our face when they take us to the mall shopping 😅
Not to sound stupid but what is the 2 smaller seat like thing in the back of the boat for?
we have a lot of 9.9 hp lakes around here ....what everyone does around here is get the tohatsu 9.9 ...then get the spark arrestor and the ecm for the 20 hp........since they are both the same cubic inch ,bore and stroke ....the ecm and the spark arrestor is the only difference in the motors .....dam near hit 30 mph
Tohatsu makes the mall mercs like mine as well 😳
People here get the 15 or 20 hp and simply put 9.9 stickers on them.
I have the same engine and it's 91# I have ordered a stabilizer to help it plane out. I have a 12' sea king and it didn't feel as fast as it should. I weight 220# and with the fuel tank and Battery it never got to plane.
What size trolling motor do you have on this Jon?
4:30 I saw a lot of water in the boat
just rain water I didn't bail
how much is this set up? also what you think about that motor on a tracker grizzly 16ft? a little heavier boat but I own a sedan that can only tow 1000lbs so the smaller motor would help save weight and dont really care for speed.
I’ve got Luke 2500$ into it but if you bought everything new it would probably like 5200$. Motor Might be a little underpowered for a grizzly but you could always by the 15hp carp kit.

Thank you 🙏
9.9 on the 14 footer seems to be the way to go!!!
For sure
Nice setup. Can you please tell me what prop you use?
I have no idea what the pitch is lol.. it’s the prop that came with it and I bought it used
If your looking for more speed and power I think with that 9.9 you can put a 15hp carb in it to make a 15hp motor
I’ve thought about it
Im in indiana. Theres a jon boat someone left behind my moms shed. How do I go about getting it registered to get it in the water with an engine??
Every state is different id ask your local DMV and go from there.
Was that readout in MPH?
What size gas tank do you have? How much time /distance can you get out of it transiting big lakes or rivers?
3 gallons and it lasts days with this four stroke
He said 3 gal at the start...And, it LOOKS like a 3 gal tank...
what trolling motor is that? i know its a motor guide but what model? Thanks in advance!
Xi3
Just got the 1436 with a 9.9 Merc to and haven't put it in the water yet but what trim setting do you have it at
I usually run it on the second one.
@@5050fishing thank you
I’m moving to Idaho and I live by snake river so I’m gonna by a huge Jon boat convert it into a bass boat then put a 40hp jet outboard on it is that over kill for something like a river bass boat would you think
buy whaere 13 40 hp jey drive chef dose that
I'm curious how fast it would push my lowe 1640 jon with gear and 2 guys. I have a older tahatsu 18hp 2stroke, with gear and 2 guys probably 21-22 mph, if just me Ive hit close to 25 mph a few times. I'm considering a 8hp to 9.9 4 stroke for trolling, and throwing the 18hp on another boat. Extremely been impressed with the 18hp Tahatsu and its a 1986 model. Its a power house, and the guys that fish with me, are impressed too. To me it runs better than the old John/Evinrude's/Mercs my family ran and I grew up on. My 18 runs way better than the old 25 Johnson my grandpa had. Would be nice to have a quiet 4 stroke for trolling. Been having issues with electric troll motors. Reviews I read on newer ones don't look very promising either.
It would probably be significantly slower than my boat
@@5050fishing yeah, I figure it would be slower, but still enough for what I need it for.
buy yaar 18 dissél pówrréd
i had a same exact boat recently but the plug is worn out, any way to get a replacement one? Thanks!
You can get a new plug almost anywhere. Cabelas has em
What prop is on it? 8.5? its crazy fast
How big is the shaft
Hey man, I have a 10ft W tracker john boat and was wondering if I could put one of these on it since it only weighs 50 pounds more than my 6, do you think I could do it?
yea I think u would be ok
@@5050fishing ok thanks for the help man!
Maybe check the capacity tag on your boat to make sure it’s rated to handle a 9.9
@@DanielSon69 well it's only rated for a 3 and I put a 6 already with no problems so we shall see
@@fbi1069 I have no doubt that it’ll work but you run the risk of increased liability if you ever have a crash or similar incident. The first thing law enforcement and insurance companies do will be to check the ratings compared to what’s actually mounted on the boat. Plus, manufacturers and government agencies test boats and through this testing, arrive at max specs for hp and capacities to ensure the safety of passengers as well as other users on the water.
If you accept these risks, go for it.
Curious- If the 3 hp rating (or the 6 you have now) isn’t enough for you, why didn’t you buy a boat with a higher rating in the first place?
Can you put a 25hp outboard on it?
Can u teach me how u install the trolling motor up front
Get the quick release mount. It’s the easiest and most practical.
I have a aluminum plate on the front of my John boat that I bolted my trolling motor to and a swivel seat. It works great for crappie fishing.
Can you get this motor accept jet propulsion I've been looking everywhere for one can't find it
I think only 20hp and up have kits. Could be wrong though
Trim it up just a bit...1 hole you might get 1 mph more...
And play with props 1 inch pitch less same diameter may actually get you a higher top end if your rpms are on the low side.say like 5700 vs. 6000...will help with 2 people also...stock pitch is 8.5 i think maybe try a 7.5..
Yea I trim it up a little now and get a little more speed
Very Nice 😊
🤘
Seen the wv plate whereabouts in wv are you im in the panhandle fish the potomac allot
That looks quick for a 9.9.
Near Mo-town?
Trust me, one wave over the side of that boat will sink it to the bottom. Be very careful, watch the weather, and use that motor to get you off the lake quick and remember to take the waves head on. Do not let them come upon you from the side.
I love ur boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too !
I have same size boat by Alumacraft. It could use 25hp
damn a 25 seems overkill... but also badass lol
25 hp jet driveoutbard
Awesome
is the boat light enough to lift?
It is. I used to truck bed it
I have the exact style and length boat except it's made by polar craft. I'm a big fella as well. 280lbs. The wife is only 140lbs. Going to get my 9.9 tomorrow except it's a Honda. I'll let ya know our top speed in a few days.
Awesome man! I’ve been loving mine.
Waiting on those numbers.
Do you need or have a transom saver?
If you travel with the motor all the way down you don’t need one
Would this boat be stable enough to stand on if you put a deck on the front?
Yea, a lot of people build decks on them
5050 Fishing 👍
buy lúahúñs 1⁷
what is the weight of the boat? is made of wood, the shell of the boat?
Like 160 pounds. It’s aluminum
You're down by Winterville/Steubenville
What kind of Jon boat you got?
Tracker topper 14
Some pods and a 40 would be fun on that boat!
haha yea but then I cant fish the 9.9 lakes
@@5050fishing anything is a 9.9 with the right stickers haha enjoy the channel dude keep it up.
🤣Haha true! Thank you!
Do you prefer Jon boat over yaks?
For what I do now... yes, But they both have their place.
Make sure you’ve got your gas vent open while using the engine.
On the fuel tank?
@@5050fishing yes
What affect does that have, I have a Mercury 15, I'm a new boat owner, taking in all helpful information 👍
@@floydcox4572 so you don’t suck the tank in.
@@floydcox4572 engine will stall out.
That thing humps across the water
Oh yeah!
Yep, it’s always better with the wife along! 🥰
nice.
🤘
Would love to have a boat like this, but I’m 16 and can’t afford that lol
start saving. it's pretty cheap
@@5050fishing yeah I’ve been working hard since November. I’ve also gotta buy a car. Can’t get the boat to the ramp without it. Maybe in a year idk
@@nikmar1338 just keep your eyes peeled. I'm fortunate that I inherited a 9.9 when my uncle passed years ago so I just had to find a boat. Took me months but I found a 1436 jon boat + trailer on facebook marketplace for $250. Just gotta keep your eyes peeled, I was too cheap to drop 1k on a hull.
Should be able to convert to 15hp by carburation.
yea I have thought about doing that.
Where is your kill switch lanyard? You've got another person in the boat with you for Christ's sake! "Circle of death"... look it up!
😆
Where did you get your gas tank?
I bought it with the motor but, cabelas, bass pro, Amazon, just about anywhere sells them.
@@5050fishing ok thanks 👍
No problem
What river are you on here?
Ohio
A 1442 would be about the same if not better on speed, much more stable too. Course you gotta add a couple hundred to get it. I have a 71 Stumpknocker, 13-6, 46" wide at the floor.Running a 9.9 Yamaha, it will scare you with 1 230# guy at the tiller !
As awesome
