Here's a rather long link to web site for Cabela's, an outfitter selling in several U.S. states. This page describes their Jon boats and if you click on the link under each picture, you come to a detailed page giving critical data about each design, with metric quantities in parentheses. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/community/aboutus/ retail-detail.jhtml?detailedInformationURL=..%2F..%2F..%2Fcontent%2Fcommunity %2Faboutus%2Fretail%2Fretail_stores%2Fboat_2%2Flowe%2Fjons.jhtm

They even give maximum engine ratings in kilowatts (though they forgot to put the W in uppercase and wrote kw instead of kW). I'm in favor of applauding them, for the most part. I have also commented on the above technical points via their web page. I note with pleasure that Cabela's also provide their clothing sizing charts in metric units. Jim -- James R.
