@@PolkFishin You are correct. Almost any engine will run on American "gasohol" of the recommended octane and suffer no ill effects - even ones with carburetors. The problem only rears its ugly head after an engine has been stored, or maybe even just sat idle for a couple of weeks, when the ethanol crystallizes and clogs the carburetor. And unfortunately, the smaller the carb, the faster it will happen and the more profound the problem will be. Curiously, this does not happen to nearly the same degree in fuel injected engines. It has to do with carburetors having a plethora of small jets and passageways inside them along with a pool of fuel that, through various air vents etc, are all pretty much exposed to atmospheric conditions. ...So just be aware of this and take proper precautions when not using or storing a carbureted motor, that's all. By the way... great video!👍Thanks for posting it, and I didn't mean to hijack it or sidetrack you.

Medium kit would probably be best, but I had a 22hp (with a large kit) on a 14 footer and it was very fast. The only problem I had was my transom flexing when i would gun it. If your transom can handle it, then put on a 22hp large kit

No log jumping or mudd running but there are a few honey holes that are tough to get at. Question ? Do you think my Johnson is good for my needs or a 6.5 Preditor?

Locate the wires for your engines On/Off switch and tie into that. You'll want to wire it so that if the kill switch is pulled, it opens the circuit like if you simply switched the engine to "off". Does that make sense?
