Hey guys, tried searching this but not really coming up with the answer im looking for, or im over-looking it. Im going to be running two batteries in my 16ft jon boat. One for the trolling motor and the other for lights and fish finder. What are your recommendations for an on board battery...

For those who used wood for their frames in their jon boats, in the front, the floor of the boat will slope up at an angle as you get closer to the front. My question is, what is the best way to get the angle needed for cutting your supports for your frame so it rests against the floor and be...

This seems silly, but for some reason I cant figure this out for the best route. ](*,) Jon boats are not perfectly straight down the sides. What is the best way or recommended way(s) to get your platforms cut so they fit your boat properly?? As well, what if your boat is wider than the...

I wondering if I can use the spray adhesive from Loctight or 3M to lay my carpet down?? The Loctight says its waterproof and one of the uses is for carpet. OR would I be better served to get the indoor/outdoor adhesive they sell in the carpet department?? IF I can go with the spray adhesive...

Ok, now I know the site is mainly for aluminum boats, but I found a trihaul fiberglass boat with trailer and has nothing inside of it. Its like its primed and ready for a deck conversion. But my concern is, drilling my supports into the bottom of the boat and anything on the sides. Is this...

Ok, this is going to sound like an odd question, but how do guys find the boats that look like they been sitting around since the 50's and get them for free? I've looked in Craigs List, ebay, and even the local paper. Are there certain places to look for one, do you just knock on doors if you...

Hey guys, great site. Last year I fished from a modified 16' flatbottom jon boat and just fell in love with it. I've been searching for a 15' or 16' boat to work on. Came across this site from another forum and have seen some of the builds, I must say =D> Just viewing them gets me pumped...
