From the moment I joined, I've told myself I wanted to pick up a 1648 jon boat; yet I settled for a 1436 when it fell in my lap at a very good price last summer. All the time I've fished from it, I've continued to look for a 1648.
I've come across a Lowe Big Jon on e-bay and the seller is about an hour drive from me. In the e-bay listing, he provides numerous pictures and gives a good description of the boat. It is 16ft. long, but the bottom width is not stated. From the listing, it sounds like everything I wanted initially.
Here is a link to the listing.
As you can see though, the boat has what appears to be treated lumber running across the floor. The listing states they were just added recently, but I'm hesitant. Does anyone have any comments or things I should look at if I go and take a look at this boat?
