Thank you everyone!

Well everyone the project is complete....well sort of...I guess we are never finished. I few little touch ups but ready for the maiden voyage next weekend. A big thanks to everyone and to this awesome forum.

Hi Everyone Just a quick update. Carpet is complete, seats are mounted, did a little pinstripe work, wiring is roughed in, etc...I still have to complete all the wiring and do some minor touch up but should be complete in another week. =D> David

Well....I totally messed everyone up here. I purchased a used 40 Lb thrust bow mount 12 VOLT Minn Kota off of Craigs list. So I do not have a 24 volt. I guess I really proved how much I know......sorry folks

Yes...that is a hoot!! :lol:

I am glad that I asked. In addition to researching the heck out of this project on this forum, I also purchased the ebook "Hydrilla Gorilla" https://www.myjonboat.com/aboutboat.htm ....this recommends one battery for TM, depth finder, live well, lights, etc. on one deep cycle battery and an...

No sorry. I am using 6 gauge for the TM too....I was not clear in my post. Thank you for the reply. I will check with the auto parts store on the breaker

Thank you everyone!! I do have a couple of questions in regard to wiring. I have done some searches and cannot find an exact answer...so here it goes.. I am going to have a 24 volt trolling motor, front nav light (rear to be a battery powered light...will not do much night fishing), and a...

Hi Everyone Some updated photos. I am now ready to start wiring. Then finish plywood and carpet. Interested in everyones comments. David

Hi Everyone here are some photos from today. Will put the last coat on in a day or so....

I am in Virginia and will be fishing in larger parts of the James River. So I will have a need for the outboard on occasion. The James is known for its smallmouth fishing...cats too but I am going after the smallies. I will probably wire and install lights but not really planning on alot of...

No...I have a 4 hp Johnson and yes there will be 2 in the boat....

Thanks...I actually plan on using this layout that was used for a 1432 https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2423&hilit=tyler+w Do you folks see any problems there? I am going to paint gray and use that gray carpet from lowes. Boat trailer will be painted black.

No not yet...I figured there would be a bit of a learning curve there though

I actually began this project about a week ago. My first group of posts was in this thread. https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4385 Since that time I have spent a huge amount of time reading this forum. This group has been very valuable...thank you to everyone for such detailed...

I have a question for you to 12footmoder...I have a 1432 that I am thinking about modding similar to yours. My question is with the foot pedal on your trolling motor. Did you run the cable under the front deck or across the top? Also and this is probably my biggest concern right now is the...

In my last post I indicated that I planned on carpeting the sides. I just realized what might be a bit of a problem here. I had planned on carpeting 1/4" plywood and screwing them into the ribs on the sides of the boat. Just realized that my boat does not have ribs on the sides. What would be...

Yes the inside paint is peeling bad. I plan on carpeting the sides that are not covered with decking...... Thank you everyone for the help so far. I will plan on starting on this soon. It may be a week before I am able to get started though... :( David

I saw this paint in cabelas. Maybe I am reading too much but from what I find out it is all in the primer. Alumimum Oxide primer is recommended then from what I am told just about anything will work on top of that. However, it appears as though that even marine paints have pretty much the same...

I am getting ready to paint my first jon myself. I just went to Lowes and read the can on the Rustoleum Premium Paint and it says it covers every type of surface but do not submerse in water....Is this the wrong rustoleum? Not trying to steal this thread I thought my question would also...
