I have a 14ft Alumacraft Crappie Jon. I installed stick steer with a 15hp Merc 4 stroke with CMC trim and tilt. This rig has no problem getting on plane with my neighbor who weighs in at 315 lbs.

I love my Crappie Jon, especially after adding the stick steer. Plenty of room for 2 old folks and don't have to swap seats to run. Here be a pic. I like pics with words. Pics Corrects me Englis ( but so do me wife).
