I bought an anti fatigue mat from Sears for $27. It weighs next to nothing and was pretty big with diamond plate design (can't remember the exact size but I had almost half left over on my 12ft jon) only downside is it has to be removed when transporting the boat because it would fly out...

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty excited to try them out they look like they'll produce some fish :beer:

Yeah I started looking for a cheap trailer today because I like going out on the water by myself I'm sure I'll run across one here soon... The misses has to approve though haha. I'll def take a look at what you mentioned about placing the battery in the bench thanks for the tip

Thanks kismet! Yeah I'm done with it after I figure out where and how to mount the battery for the fish finder... I'd like to just go by myself but due to not having a trailer I always have to bring a buddy to help load/unload it because I've got a bum leg after being wounded in Afghanistan last...

So I've pretty much finished everything I wanted to on the boat. I just added the anti fatigue mat I bought from Sears for $25 and plan on taking it out on the water for the first time tomorrow :D

Thanks for the replies. I will be doing everything you mentioned pappy here within the next couple of weeks

I just picked this motor up today for $150. It came with a 5 gallon tank line and bulb. It started right up idles nicely, shifted smoothly and pumped water with a steady stream. I'm just curious if it was a decent deal?

Just thought I would post some of the progress that I've made so far. The painted I decided to go with is from lock stock & barrel in the open water medium gray, I just used a foam roller to apply the paint

Finally finished with putting the primer on now I just need to order some paint but I just don't know what kind to go with? I like the grey and I'm pretty set on that, but can someone point me in the right direction as far as paint goes and the best way to apply it?

Yeah I think I'm just going to give it a shot and try out a platform and just use joist hangers for the couple 2x4's that way if I decide I don't want it the only thing that will be left will be a couple small holes in the front bench... Can anyone point me in the right direction for paint? I'm...

Hey I'm new here to tinboats and I'm glad I stumbled across this site, it's been extremely informative. I recently purchased my first jon. It's a 12ft 1983 Delhi that I picked up for $200 that also came with a hummingbird 170 fish finder. I figured I would post how the restoration is going along...
