My Jon boat decking project is done! 2024


fishing user avatarpbw reply : 

Tdoay try out the boat it worked great. As you see I took a 2nd battery in case I stayed out all day but I didnt.

(front seat is way too high! I have yet to return it to bps, the lowest setting I can't touch my feet on the decking and I'm 6 ft tall!)

excelliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


fishing user avatarMicro reply : 

WOW, that looks really good!  Does it rock when you're on that seat?  Don't accidentally touch your legs to the battery terminals.  I'd put that battery in a battery box.  

How is that little Briggs and Stratton engine? They sort of have a cult following here because they are air cooled you can take then through mucky water with no worries.

Looks good ....Great Job !!! I'm trying to deck out my VHull. Talking about a fun project.

Very nice!!!!  Looks awesome!!!


fishing user avatarBob Kavanaugh reply : 

Looks great. Seems as though you bought a seat pole designed for the pro style seats huh?


fishing user avatarbucketmouth8 reply : 

I like your boat.  How did you secure your oar to the front of your rear bench?  I have been looking for some kind of snap clip to hold mine but no such luck so far.  Just wondering.

Is that McNeely Lake?   ;)

Its a 38 inch bottom is pretty stable on the seats. That is my spare battery I took today incase fish were biting. LOL at touching battery terminals.

I like the b&s so far.

My wife and I spent a lot of evenings while we were in high school watching the "submarine races" at McNeely Lake.  That was back in the 60s.

Nice build man. Good boat.


fishing user avatarLow_Budget_Hooker reply : 

TEAM RED 8-)


fishing user avatarXcoM274 reply : 

I like it LBH. Perhaps we need a special sticky thread for that too lol. I have cabin fever sooo bad right now, I'm going ice plowing out on lake Huron tomorrow. Hehehehe. We'll see if I can pull some smallies out of 28 degree water. Only in a Team Red boat.


fishing user avatardhondo reply : 

Very nice !


fishing user avatarbassmedic46 reply : 

Awesume job


fishing user avatarMA1232 reply : 

The boat look great!  And from the video it seem very stable.   What is your painting process and paint type?

I like that red color too!


fishing user avatarabelfisher reply : 

That is awesome!  You might consider putting a 13" pedestal on that rear seat.  Then you partner could swivel all around and fish off the back, etc.    Otherwise it looks like it could be limiting and confining. Don;t mean to criticize.  maybe you do have one for that.  But That is quite a beauty!   ;)Great, professional looking job!  Congrats!


fishing user avatarTahoeDust reply : 

Wow, great job.  I need to get to work on mine.
