Super User Fishes in trees Posted February 14, 2013 Super User Posted February 14, 2013 Be careful standing up on a 12' Jon. Be careful with weight distribution in a 12'jon. A 30 lb thrust trolling motor should push that boat around ok. A 55 lb thrust will push it better. 2013 Bass Pro catalog shows a price difference of around $100. A 55 lb thrust with the Maximizer (or Motor Guide makes an equivalent) might actually make your battery last longer. Buy a paddle. Be mindful that a set of oars is better than a paddle and rowing is good exercise. Have fun & catch fish in your new boat. Wear your life jacket. I strongly recommend the inflatable life jackets because they are more comfortable and you will be more likely to wear it. Quote
