I was thinking of getting a jon boat for me and a buddy we both are 250 pounds each and was thinking on a 10' riveted jon now will this sink us because it said Max Load- 300 and with a trolling motor and a 4 horse power motor on it, do you think it would go good or plow throgh the water.

mmmmmmmmmm just what part of over-loaded are you not sure on ? lol
I think you guys had better go with somthing a little bit bigger.
Probably the 14 to 16 ft. would be more to your liking and weight carrying capacity
I f you stay small ...... be sure to wear your pfd's

Just my .02 worth good luck in finding the right boat for you.

now this boat is on my mind, now becuse I can not have a trailer because there is not enough room on the property and the only place I can put it is behind the pine trees behind the house, I hope I can get one
