Walmart was selling this paddle for eight bucks...I bought it...you never know when it might come in handy !

Here is some pics of my new and improved tin....simple but effective !

I will be installing these quick release seat swivels instead of the pedestals.

I will be removing both pedestals because it tends to off balance my jon boat.

Boat, Trailer, Seats(2), Trolling Motor, Marine Battery, Rod Holders(2), Exterior Carpet, Marine Plywood, Paint, Brushes & Rollers, Etch Paint, Fish Decals(2), Trailer Submersible Lights, etc.... I probably spent in total $1,100.00 give or take

I sanded off all old paint and then after cleaning the boat real good....I used approx 6 cans of Rust-Oleum Self Etching Primer before I applied any paint.

The colors I used to paint my tin is Rust-Oleum "Gloss White" and "Gloss Smoke Grey" from Home Depot

I ALWAYS remove my rod holders when my boat is not being used...and in the winter I always remove my seats so as not to get weather beaten. I find that when you take good care of your stuff.....your stuff will take good care of you.

I got all my ideas from this awesome forum in which I HIGHLY recommend to any and all boat owners rookies or experienced. I used the K.I.S.S. theory (keep it simple stupid) for my tin and I'm really happy with the results. I thank all fellow boatsmen forum members for your support and comments...

I have to admit....this NEW Minn Kota 55 lb Thrust Trolling motor looks really good on my tin...don't you think !

Sorry I have'nt posted in a while....very, very busy at my job. Anyway....here are 3 new items that I purchased for my boat. 1, Minn Kota 55 lb Thrust Trolling Motor ($220 at Dicks Sporting Goods) 2. Deep Cycle Marine Battery ($92.00 at CarQuest Auto Parts) 3. Battery Box ($7.00 at WalMart)

I just turn sideways to steer...no problem. Trolling motor 55 lb thrust is what I'll be using.

I finally completed my 14ft jon boat after 2 weeks and mucho beers. I really like the colors I chose and for a rookie...I think the final results looks great. After filling up the boat with water at the local car wash the results were...NO LEAKS WHAT SO EVER !!! It's a simple but effective setup...
