I have a 2004 2072 sea ark my. It has a two stroke 50hp merc tiller. It’s no speed demon by far but I’ve never once really felt that I was in trouble or under powered. The boat has been in big water numerous times. All I see is guys saying go big as you can for hp. I have zero need to go 40-50 mph in a flat bottom jon boat.i don’t like a console in my rig because it takes up to much room.i also have 3 batteries behind my seat( I have a 80#thrust transom trolling motor) plus a gas tank. The Yamaha f70 seems pretty lightweight and I’m curious as to everyone else’s opinion. Am I crazy for not wanting all that weight on my transom?
Thanks
