[QUOTE="goldbomb79, post: 482413, member: 30784"] Hello, I'm new to the site. I've been browsing a bunch of threads the past few days trying to get some ideas, and see some repair options for my new to me boat. A coworker wanted to get rid of of his jon boat (i think it was more like his wife wanted it gone) and asked if I'd be interested. I just couldn't pass up it being free. I slapped some new wheels/tires on it and made the voyage to my house to start working on it. I know the transom wood is going to need to be replaced. I also have ripped out the carpet(what didn't fall apart in my hands). I would rather not put carpet back in, but the glue removal looks like it's going to be a big task. I also noticed it has more foam by the transom than most jon boats I've saw on here. I've found a couple that look similar to mine, but not many. Oh it also came with an extra trolling motor and a 9.5hp evinrude. I plan on setting it up for fishing, so I'll be adding some sort of decking to the front. [/QUOTE]
