Torn between these two motors to use on my recently acquired 14/48 Jon boat. Not sure if it's worth all the extra weight of the 24 opposed to the lighter 16? Any thoughts or experience are greatly appreciated |

I have a 14x44 flat bottom rivited jon boat with an ol skool 15hp go devil long tail that has low hrs on it that I advanced the timing, changed exhaust & dialed in th ed carb. Open water with my son 65lbs myself 185lbs & fishing gear we will do 16 mph all day. For what its worth a vanguard 23hp is only 3lbs heavier than the 15 or 16 v-twin. But I picked up the 15 too cheap to pass up. Im happy with my 15 (ish) on my 14x44. The boat is fairly light too. |

Cool that's not too hateful. The price will be similar, so that's not my main worry. I was just thinking the weight vs power gained ratio if it's worth it. I'll just say some of my duck hunting buddies are small haha so I don't wanna be reduced to a crawl either |

Get the 24. The power difference is noticable. |

Agree, go as big as your boat will be able to handle if $$$ is about the same. |
