FYI- my KH7 Merc did 23mph with me and a 200Lb buddy in the boat

1-2 people. And the second person better be small.
Jon Boats are commercially produced between 8 and 20 feet in length (though sometimes longer), with the most common sizes being 10-16 feet long. Their flat bottom allows the boat to have a shallow draft (distance between the water line and bottom of the boat) and be able to access a broad range of bodies of water.
Carrying capacity requirement and boat length are closely related because generally speaking, the bigger the boat, the more it can carry. The bigger the boat is, the more water it displaces (i.e. water the boat moves out of the way to float). As long as the boat is lighter than the weight of the water it is displacing, it will float. The longer your boat, the more water you are displacing, and the more you can carry.
6-8 passengers are typical of boats this size. 6 is more realistic since you will have added weight of more equipment or features of the boat, as well as general weight that comes with passengers (tackle, ammunition, stocked coolers, etc.) [links]
A few years back Evinrude introduced their new line of DFI two-strokes, called the G2. These started out at 200, 225, 250, and 300 HP models in a 3.4 liter package, and then were complemented with 150, 175, and 200 HP models built around a 2.7 liter powerhead. Then just last year Evinrude extended the line even further, with an in-line-three 1.9-liter version covering 115, 140, and 150 horsepower. Despite the fact that BRP has discontinued Evinrude in 2020, w e’re including the entire batch here as one of the top 10 simply because the entire G2 line had some rather awesome advantages and they are still available in many places (the company will continue to supply customers and dealers service parts as well as honor manufacturer limited warranties, plus offer select programs to manage inventory).

The mid-sized Mercury FourStrokes get a big thumbs-up.
You’ve gotta love where an engine like the Yamaha F25 can take you.
The DF25 also has a unique air intake system which improves performance; check out a video by our Outboard Expert of the Suzuki 25 and 30 outboards to learn more. Overall this is one of the lightest outboards in the 18.4kW (25PS)/22.1kW (30PS) four-stroke outboard class, plus the advanced fuel injection system and modern electronics combine to deliver class-leading fuel-efficiency.
Suzuki’s all new fuel efficient 15hp EFI four-stroke is an excellent choice of power for medium to larger sized jon boats, skiffs, and inflatables. It comes with your manual start and offers tiller steering with a 15 inch short shaft. [links]
