[QUOTE="frydaddy, post: 380845, member: 17303"] hey guys I have been reading a lot and asking a few questions but decided to start a mod. I got so excited when I saw a utube of mods from here that I decided to jump in. I bought this old 1950 monster and that is where I will start but a few days later I couldn't pass on an 18footer for 300 bucks! yes I went from no boat to 2 boats in less than a week. and yes im single or im sure I would be after that crazy move. back to the beast. I always thought Jon boat was just a name but on the title it says Jon. is this an old manufacturer? or did the state just not know what else to call it some yrs back. plan starting out is to seal leaky rivets, move back seat back about a foot to open center up space for 3 hunters to sit in middle, and a deck up front for storage and fishing from, also add back deck to keep crazy 65lb dog off battery and gas tank. maybe add a rod/gun box along one side. and build a pop up style blind. seems simple enough but I already took at least 300 lbs of crap off her. steel tubing deck bolted to side of boat and 3/4in plywood thru out. im sure I will have a ton more questions but here we go.
