my 10ft jon boat mod (with a bad ending to the season.)

redneckfisher · Jun 3, 2010

last year i got this jon boat and i wanted to make it a jon bass boat so i took and screwed some 2x3s down to the seat frames and made a 1x2' livewell out of sheet aluminum. then i cut and put a piece of 1/2" plywood on the 2x3s. then i added some rough cut 2x2s on the sides. i added some minor eletrical and a 30lb minn-kota trolling motor.

i have been working on it and i will get new pictures up with it carpeted and my new (to me) 1988 3hp gamefisher outboard.

Nice, a bit small for a lot of mods, watch the weight added, good luck.

redneckfisher · Jun 4, 2010

thanks, this boat is small but most of the time im the only person on it so it aint that bad.

redneckfisher · Jun 4, 2010

worked nonstop since 3:00pm on the boat today, and got a lot done. I made a mount in the front for the trolling motor and added a small deck on the back and on the bottom.

theres a guy selling a tracker motor guide 52lb thrust foot controlled troling motor thats about 5 years old and he is selling it for $100 is this a good deal? i can get a new one for like $450

weezer71 · Jul 1, 2010

I would think it's a pretty good deal considering how much bow mount foot controlled trolling motors are new. If it's in good shape, why not?! I know that there's one about the same thrust in my town from someone I know and he wants $140 and it is at least 10 years old. I thought about it, but think I might hold out for something in better shape that is used. Might change my mind later.

JRHOADES20 · Jul 1, 2010

sounds like a pretty good deal to me, as long as you see it work before you buy it.

redneckfisher · Jul 2, 2010

thanks yall, i think im gona get it now.

redneckfisher · Jul 2, 2010

ok i want to get a fishfinder but i only want to spend around $100 do yall know of a good one for this price? i have looked at the hummingbird 150 and 170 but i dont know what is good and not.

I have 2 of the Eagle's that I got at Academy and they were $69. I want to know the depth and be able to find underwater structure and that is about it. They work great and are easy to install and use.

i finaly got the pics on my computer but now they wont upload

I just got a Lawrance 5X for my birthday yesterday. Got it at Gander Mountain for $159. Haven't got to try it yet, but the screen quality is great from the demonstration disply screen! I think an Eagle (which is Lawrance's lower priced brand) might be a good choice also.

I picked up the Hummingbird 550 from Academy for $149, seems to be a really good deal.
