What size motor is recommended for a 14 foot aluminum boat?
Typical horsepower for a 14-foot jon boat would be between 15 HP and 20 HP although up to 25 HP is not uncommon either. 20 HP can comfortably give you a top speed of 20mph, potentially even stretching to 25mph depending on weather conditions and the weight on the boat.
How fast will a 4hp push a 14ft boat?
A 14 foot boat designed as a planing hull might get up to 6 or 7 miles per hour. If it’s a four cycle motor it will be a heavy weight in the back end. Make sure the gas hose is long enough to place the tank way in the front. Smaller motors have props designed for slower speeds anyway.
What’s the speed of a 14 foot aluminum boat?
I have a lund s-14, a semi-v hull, but also deeper than most 14 foot tinny’s. It’s a heavy boat for an aluminum fishing boat. With a weight of 800-900 lbs total (boat, motor, battery, trolling motor, gear, and myself and a friend) and a ’58 18hp johnson, we got about 17mph at wot. With me in the boat, trimmed properly, i topped out nearly at 21mph.
Is a six horse motor adequate for a 14 foot boat?
BTW, a 6 horse should be more than adequate for a 14″ boat. Just don’t be in a hurry as that motor will not plane the boat out. I’m assuming you’re planning on using it mostly on the Wisconsin and maybe to push across on 7 or 8. It should be good for those applications.
How big is a 14ft V hull boat?
They have a 14ft v-hull Aluminum, probably weighs 150lbs dry. Is there a calculator to see how fast it will go with various motors? Looking for the following: I know a 7.5 will push it 11mph with two people. Without changing props, anyone have a rough idea on the above motors or know of a calculator or chart to reference?

What’s the speed of a 2.5 hp fishing boat?
Thanks. You may get on plane with the 5HP depending on the total weight, but no way with the 2.5. I would guess 3-4 mph with the 2.5 hp and 10 mph with the 5 hp. I used to run a Merc.2.2 on a 10′ jon boat and it was just a little faster than one of former 4 hp rated Minn Kota electric motors “back in the day”. I Love Bass Fishing!
