First I want to say this is a cool site, I'm really glad that I found it.
I just picked up a 1448 jon. I can find any info out on the make of the boat. The bill of sale that I got from the previous owned says it a 1976 PBC - Perfect boat company? I've searched the web and didn't find any info at all.
Here are some pics with my lab pup Murphy.
I started the cleanup project this weekend. I live in Colorado and the weather was great. First major problem that I ran in to was the transom was in very bad shape. After removing a ton of rivets, most internal thank god, and six welds I got the old one out.
Next was to get the 3" of dirt, fishing line, sinkers and beer tab (old school style) out and cleaned up.
The deck that I removed wasn't in that good of shape, so I'm going to replace with plywood. Not 100% sure of what kind of finished boat that I was, hoping joining this site will help a lot. The boat is going to be used primarily for duck hunting and some fishing with a little R&R mixed in.
I'll keep posting my progress.
