RG, I have some advice if you're willing to take it. Jigs are my favorite. First, stick to a 3/8oz or 1/2oz jig. Anything larger heads straight for the rocks and will rarely come back if you have the type of structure that I do. Second, stick to your basic colors. Black is your best friend no...

The boat does not flex or twist. It's solid. Did you get your rivets together?

I'm always up for a project in Photoshop, but it looks as if there are plenty of other qualified "shoppers" here, which is a good deal!

Thanks cavman, but you're project is quite impressive too...nice job!

A grey pinstripe would be killer...that's one clean looking boat!

We decided to use a pintle hitch because all of our trailers and trucks have them, so it made sense to convert the boat trailer over as well. A pintle hitch is universal, so needing different sized balls is obsolete. A hitch won't dictate whether or not you need a license/registration, as I'm...

Thanks Waterwings, glad you made it back safe and sound.

Thanks a lot; glad I had the chance to participate.

Haven't had the opportunity to weigh it, but the front is quite heavy now. I'll update when I get the chance.

It does; it kind of brought back the excitement of owning a boat. I know that we're fortunate enough to own one, but a project like this really makes it unique, and can make a person proud.

There isn't a lot of extra room, it's a jon boat! There's enough space to get on, get off, sit and stand and a step or two each way to move around or get to the hatches.

Actually, we were really impressed with the seats themselves (wise seats from Bass Pro) and the fact that they weren't much higher than the orginal bench seats. Thanks for the comment RC

Finally finished the jon, and tested it for the first time today. Everything went well, and we even caught a couple of rainbows, and a couple of bass. Pintle hitch Welded and Installed Front Deck, with Minn Kota Edge 40 trolling motor Before the conversion: Finished Bass Boat

Only a few days left for voting, good luck gentlemen!

Welcome! Good looking boat...

I used to use Banjo Minnows when I was younger, right when the big hype hit on tv many years ago. I caught fish, so it worked as advertised; I just never caught anything worth mentioning. I wouldn't be hesitant to try them now, but I would rather go with Flukes from Zoom.
