Yeah it's weird up in New Jersey I would be wearing a t shirt when it was 50 out, if it hits 50 down here in FL I have a snowsuit on and my teeth are chattering.

41 degrees this morning in SWFL, still shorts weather for me!

Sounds expensive...depends what it's worth to you. Maybe go with bedliner or steelflex and roll the dice

Ordered some 7's from Wallyworld, Thanks for the help

Yeah it must have been the HIN ends in 12LJ, I am assuming that means 12' Little Jon. The inside tag says 10' little jon but 12' is 12'

Ahh, that's rough. Guy should have been straight with you and never by a boat blind, lesson learned the hard way. Can you get your money back? That aluminum could be pretty thin if the corrosion is bad, would hate to find out while offshore. Heard gatorhyde coating works. from what I have read...

Appreciate the advice, so much conflicting info and formulas out there. I'm going with 7 footers. My back can handle it, plus it will give me more weapon to jam down a gators throat if need be :shock:

Yeah 7' seems about right to me as well

Interesting, growing up in the northeast, all we "paddled" were canoes or kayaks. Different strokes for different folks..pun intended

My 12 foot Jon boat measure approx 48" across at point where oars mount up, I have seen alot of varying formulas to determine oar size. What is everyone else with a 48" width using for size? I am leaning towards 6'6"-7', can't remember what size I used as a kid. Thanks in advance. -Matt

Thanks for the link, off to order.

That is a sweet hoodie

+2 Didn't realize I could put those in with a gun, thought I would need a bucking bar..good to know. Where can I pick those rivets up?

"It's been emotional" haha

Yeah I could see them rounding up and calling a 9' 7" boat a 10', but the tag on my boat says little jon 10' and the boat measures almost 2' longer than that...just struck me as odd. Not sure what they were doing in the 80's, maybe I have the Stevie Wonder model :?
