Sorry I am a little confused you title reads Jon boat but in your post you mention buying a Mod V. Is it just me or our these 2 different kinds of boats. I am sure it would make a difference in feedback if you wanted a v or a jon please verify which one you want. I have a Tracker Topper 15 and...

I do and it works fine for me but not for all. I just purchased a extension with a elbow to see if it is better but for me I just centered the seat beacause I am a big guy and when driving I turn my seat so the back is opposite the handle and sit sideways. I have a 7 inch riser but if you weigh...

Check the boats rating and get as close as you can afford mine is rated at 25 but I went 15 hp not because of money but because of weight. I have a bad back and needed something I could handle. As far as what to look for I would suggest hear or see it run has the bottom end been done, does it...

My wife drove the boat on the way back as I enjoyed sitting in the front while sitting there I was thinking of new ideas. What I came up with was I am going to put a floor in the front of the boat at the same angle it currently has. I had one seat for the front but decided to get another today...

More pics of the boat this time on the water. Wife caught the first fish and than the rear of the boat started swaying as I pulled up the anchor it was very light. I soon realized my brand new 25.00 anchor was sitting on the bottom of the river. We went to Bass Pro today and they comped us the...

Very Formal. Actually we fish in the bay sometimes so we went with a saltwater motor since the trailer is galvanized we could put it in the bay without too many rust issues plus Bass Pro quoted us the wrong price on the troller so we held them to it we paid less than half of what it should sell...

Thank you sharp looking boat is what I am going for. I was wanting something simple yet custom and usable. The PO drilled through the lid of the live well which I am not happy with but my idea was to go ahead and mount the plywood and carpet with seat to the lid of the live well and seal...

Thank you it is about 40 percent done and as far as the Bimini goes it was 139.99 from cabelas with free shipping. Super easy to install and looks better than I thought it would.

More pics this time in order

More pictures

Thanks for the tip on resizing. So far I have put in the back floor cooler, motor, fishfinder, trolling motor, batteries, canopy, seats, aereator in the live well, front and rear anchors and more I am forgetting. I have finished carpeting the back half and am moving on to the front. I am still...

If I can ever figure out how to shrink my pics You could start watching my 1542 build

Your subject almost seems as it's purpose is to create controversy. Just because it is not for you does not mean it is not for everybody regardless of reason. It is like asking someone why did you buy a Honda because you drive a Chevy or why did you buy a 2 story house just because you own a 1...

In

So has anyone ever put a que in their Jon. I have had them on my bigger boats and I loved it going out on a overnighter Crappie fishing with some Burgers and Dogs flaming off the back of the boat. My idea was to go to Walmart and buy a 20.00 propane table top and mount a seat swivel on the...
