Question about John Boat or Lemoncraft

jeff

Can someone explain to me exactly what these are? like what size boat does it need to be, what motor is best to use, ect.. I have a couple buddies who are getting into skating and want to set one up, but they (and I) don't know where to start with this.

Thanks.
Jeff

Use the search feature. There is a whole multi page thread about Lemonscrafts.

yeah i built it...its a 16 ft grumman wide john, its got a cheap universal tower on it....i cut some 1/2 inch salt treated plywood for the inside floor...its got a 40 hp johnson hand tiller...it pulls a 200 plus pound guy out of the water with 4 people in the boat. so its got plenty of power. if you went with a 4 stroke engine it would be a little less powerful off the holeshot but much better on gas

Thanks Reeseboy! I'll be in touch if needed.

Is it possible to find a boat with the motor needed? or is this something you would need to build? Cause when i look all I see is really small motors on these boats?

Thanks guys!

we found a motor from this guy about an hour from us....thats all he does is buys, rebuilds and sells older smaller 2 stroke outboards. call me jeff if u need his name, i think andrew paid like 600-700 dollars for his 40 and its totally legit.
