    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.

    Jon Boat measurement

    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'

    12ft aluminium keel repair (help)

    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...

    Oar Size For Jon Boat?

    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:

    Oar Size For Jon Boat?

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

    Oar Size For Jon Boat?

    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

    Jon Boat measurement

    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 :?

    Jon Boat measurement

    I picked up a well used flat bottom jon boat, looks like an 80's model Lowe Little Jon, Tag says 10' . When I broke out the tape measure the boat had an overall length of 11'9. Is there a certain way they measure jon boats? Do they measure hull length or from the top? Probably a dumb question...

    Thanks, appreciate the replies and will follow your advice. Would an untreated 2 x 4 or something similar suffice as a transom support if I ran it at the top? I already went ahead and used stainless nuts and bolts and poly sealant on th larger holes which turned out to be 3/8". Thanks again for...
