Hey guys! Im new to the site and let me tell ya, i love it! I've gotten many ideas for previous jon boat builds from here and this site is all around awesome!
Thought id post about my latest build...
I picked up this boat and trailer and It is a 16' jon boat, i have no idea of the make/model/ or year. It was last registered in alabama and somehow i lucked out and was able to get it titled here in florida. This thing is GUTTED, nothin but ribs left! i got it about 3 weeks ago and have been workin on it here and there and its coming along pretty good, so far i got a motor for it (1995 20 hp Johnson), had to cut a section out of the transom so it would sit lower in the water, painted it, rebuilt the transom, and now i am working on getting the front and rear decks in it. I was originally gonna use 2x4's for supports but figured it would get heavy quick with all that wood, so i chose to use 18ga. galvanized aluminum square tubing, its less than half the weight and twice as strong! I'll keep posting pics i go but here is some of what ive done so far-
