I need some opions. A guy is giving me a 10 ft Jon Boat that does not take on any water. Can I safely use it in Talquin?

I agree a 10 footer dangerous on lake with big boats running

Make sure you wear a life jacket. I have used a 10 ft for small ponds and around the shores of a big lake. Stay around the shore and you will have fun.

depends on how wide it is . had a 14 ft. that was so narrow with a 10 hp you had to sit in the middle or it would take on water if 2 people leaned to the same side.
had a buddy that built a 12 ft plywood boat and ran a 50 hp mercuray on it .
retired and now i will always fish

Im with outlaw. My jonboat is a 1436 all welded heavy gauge aluminum and for the most part I am the smallest boat when i fish talquin. I would not want to be in anything smaller. I also do not dare go with winds over 7mph.

Stumps, gators, and a lake that gets ugly with just a little wind is not a place for small boats. I've got nervous several times in my 17 foot bass boat on Talquin. I suggest sticking to ponds in a small boat. Save-up and get a bigger boat.
