Sorry the initial post was rushed as work was calling. I posted the pics from imgur I hope this is the proper way to do it? Forgot to mention I purchased the Jon about a year ago brand new. Just been using a transom trolling motor and my outboard over that time. Was so tired of the butt pad...

New here to tinboats. Only have a few posts. Wanted to put together a somewhat small post of the mods I have done so far. I have plans to finish just need to get some time and can wrap it all up in a few hours. I feel like I did a fair amount of research for this and spent the previous two...

I am putting seats on my Alumacraft 1232 next week. My plan was to use sealed ply or marine ply on top of the benches and mount the seats to those. But having the boat stored outside I was looking at Seaboard. Amazon has some reasonable prices on it. Just wanted to know how does the strength...

thanks will do! Thompson water seal? Also I purchased "Weldwood All-weather carpet adhesive" figured that would work well on the ply? If I run short of the weldwood can I use the Goop marine adhesive?

thanks for the post and I definitely see what you are saying, but on my lake I think it will work. It being a no wake lake we have no problem with slow. My boat probably has never been over 5mph honestly. I actually only used a 45# thrust trolling motor for most of last year.

drill and cut then seal makes sense. Yeah my boat will be stored on a boat rack that sits at a good angle, so hopefully a cover will work nicely. Also will flip on the rack for the winter months. Painting does sound a lot easier but just like the carpet look and feel. Excited to get started...

Thanks for the reply. For the front deck I might use some aluminum braces going across attached with rivnuts, then attach the ply to that! I like it, does sound better. And as far as the ply goes just standard exterior plywood with water sealer? What happens when you put holes in it after you...

So this is my first post here, I will try to keep it as short as possible, a lot going on! So last year I purchased an Alumacraft 1232 jon new from Academy to put on the lake I "live on" (at the end of my street). The lake is big enough for real boats but is a no wake lake. Which works out...

Hey there, new to TinBoats and wanted to start of with a question. Wanting to put fishfinders on my pontoon boat and jon. I have seen a lot of different ways people have mounted them on both these types of craft. I understand where to mount. I would just like to get an opinion on the best way to...
