Im getting ready to deck out a jon boat and was hoping to get a bit of help. I have not yet taken posession of the boat yet so specifics at this time arent available. From what I gather its a 14ft. jon, I think an alumicraft? Its green, flat bottom, the bow of the boat is flat not pointed. It is decked out right now but it needs to be completey ripped apart and redone. Here are some of my questions:
1. I want to have nice hatches but dont want to make them. I see cabelas has some that can be carpeted but wast sure if that was my best bet? Does anyone know where I could order hatches from?
2. Painting the boat. I have read several posts about painting and there is just tons of info with many opinions. Is there a roll on paint that wouldnt be as messy as spray paint? If no, what sort of spray paint is the best? I am looking to change the color to black or red from its original green.
3. Whats thickness of marine plywood should I use? I am trying to make this as light as possible.
4. What is the best way to attach the "L" brackets to the boat?
I will certainly attach pics when I get this started.
