So I came across one of the “too good to be true deals” and bought a 14′ duraboat v-hull Jon boat. The Johnson 25hp tiller motor’s propeller is a few inches too short and when getting to around 8-10mph it makes a dip in the water and loses any thrust and just spin freely. I’ve been looking up options and what I’m seeing is either cutting the transom to mount lower, buying a jackplate and mounting upside down, buying a adjustable mount (which to feel safe about weight limit wound be around $400) or trying to find a prop extension for it. Any suggestions on which route is best?
