[QUOTE="autinboat, post: 196213, member: 5069"] Yea, it does seem pretty stout, and there are LOTS of other stories that the boat was part of. It was kinda funny that dad and doc (his friend) had a selection of 4 other boats to pick from (all bigger, fancier, and significantly more expensive) and they used this jon probably 75% of the time. The boat is riveted, but they had some al angle welded in some areas of the boat to stiffen her up even more. Really is a great all around basic boat...bow seat/platform, 3 benches (middle is a livewell). Has a Coca-Cola bottle opener solid riveted in the side...looks like it came from the factory that way. Trailer is a 1977 Dilly and the motor is a '73. The trolling motor just laying on the bow is a '90 (?) Johnson JBF4Y foot control 12/24 volt that I don't really like...probably will sell or trade that. It seems that those older Johnson trolling motors are really popular. I just don't want to carry 2 batteries and they seem to not run NEARLY as well in 12v. [/QUOTE]
