I've seen largish jons on Craigslist from time to time, but none big enough to take the whole family out on. Plus I can build the whole boat and put a used motor on it for less than $3K. The boat I'm looking at will draft 6" at 2000lbs total load (hull, motor, crew, gear, etc...). Given that, I should be drawing about 5". Plywood will take more of a beating than you think if it's built right. Good points on the dual 9.9s BTW, definitely some stuff to think about.
