You can put it on to put around a lake, but it is undersized. It won't go fast trolling speed, <5mph. With more than 1 person plus gear it will probably be like rowing. I wouldn't use it in a river, as it doesn't have enough power to keep you in control of the boat in fast currents. The recommended motor size is 8-9.9hp for 10-14ft jon boats, it will allow 15-22mph .

Is 15 horsepower too much for my 12 foot Jon boat?
I would say if you know what model or make your Jon boat is you can find it. The motor capacity is determined by multiple factors. Height of sides, the mounting area of where you would put the motor. If it has a plate your already on the internet a lil searching with that model number and should be a non issue.

Which is better a riveted or a welded boat?
I have a 12 foot welded flatbottom Jon boat that I purchased used ten years ago. I have used this boat at least twice a month since and have never had a problem with the welds. I have never owned a riveted boat so have no first hand knowledge as to the quality of such. I have not used a motor on my boat, we paddle, so that may have made a difference as to the abuse. ==answer both are good depending on the size and application of boat rivets however do move and pop and become loose with age and use
