[QUOTE="satio, post: 58052, member: 860"] Time to venture off the bank and I have been watching the local ads for a 14' Jon. Having bumped into this site over the summer, I really like what others have done and want to do something similar to at least add floors and perhaps a small deck in front depending on the size jon I can find. Is there a general guideline as to what 12 vs 14 vs 15 or 16 size Jon's will carry in terms of max weight recommendations? Do welded boats typically carry more than lighter aluminum riveted jons? I am leaning more towards a flat bottom rather than a semi v as I think it would be easier to launch in ponds that do not have an actual ramp. Any feedback or guidelines from others is welcomed.
