Those megas are awesome but good luck finding one that you won't have to give up your first born for

Very true! Although, Cuz Outboards will build the shite out of a zuke, yammy, or merc that will do the trick. I am not into boat racing, mixing gas and blue/white smoke. That is why I went with the 4 stroke. Besides, 35-38 is plenty fast for me. If I had to have a 25hp, it would definitely be a build 2 stroke.

Edge boat claims to be the fastest hull for duckboat.

40hp on a 650 edge runs over 60mph

Ive seen a couple run a little more

I don't know shite about excel boats, but I don't believe any boat is getting over 60mph with a 40.

Type in "edge duckboat with 40hp" on google and click the videos. There are a few showing 65 and 60 plus

I called the same bullshite and was
proved wrong

There are many duckboats running that

Now from the 40hp im sure these motors are hopped up but they are only rated for 40hp and they run 60 plus

I’m not desiring to do 60 in a jon boat. I know I’ll hit some stumps though. More interested in durability.

I hear you man. I have no desire to do 60 anywhere near the water in a 16 foot boat.

I have a Havoc 1756 DBST with a 50 Tohatsu and it’s a beast. Fishes great, and can go as shallow as u want for duck hunting.

You really can’t go wrong with Excel, Ambush, Havoc, or Edge boats. Just chose the layout you like.

Craigslist and other Arky hunting sites have them for sale all the time if you don’t wanna pay full price.

I'm fully aware the new 4 strokes are basically turds. Lol


hard disagree here....


I have a 16x48 Weldcraft with a 25HP Yamaha 4-stroke tiller that I bought specifically for the burns and the pool. I love it. Everyone who has fished with me in it loves it as well. Has a nice front deck on it. Just don't buy it at Blacks Outdoor and Marine

I know a guy who got a brand new Tohatsu 30hp with a 25hp cowling. Pushes his 15x46 about 35mph.
