sprint61 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Has anyone fished out of a mod v Jon this size? Not really worried about a brand just how this size boat fishes. I mainly fish small lakes and feel this type boat would suit me better and be a lot cheaper when I upgrade. So give me any opinions you have on this. Also I would be going with a tiller outboard.

Had 3 of us in it running around at the Classic on Grand. Quote

Super User Catt Posted February 9, 2016 Super User Posted February 9, 2016 I fish out of a Alweld 1652VJT 16' length 52" bottom with a Tohatsu 40 hp It handles well enough I fish Toledo Bend in it. 1860 Jon is huge & maybe to much for small lakes Quote

Expand The price difference is in the outboard, mine is rated for a 40 hp the 1860 is rated for a 50-60 hp tiller or 90-115 console. 1 Quote
