I am looking to make a duck blind boat. My thought was that an old Jon Boat would be the perfect way to get where I want to go, so to speak. So this weekend I got a deal on Craigs List I couldn't pass up-
This is a 15x42 Jon that needs a little bit of work. The good thing is the motor is a one pull motor.
The trailer is in really good shape with new (working) lights
I don't know what this ugly thing is for, but it won't be there long
I have read a LOT of the posts on this forum, but I am still going to ask some questions. My idea is that I would paint it camo, modify the interior as needed, and construct a blind for it. Price IS a concern, I am looking to do it as cheaply as I can. But ANY AND ALL advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
QUESTION: Can I take the seat out of this boat and not damage the structural integrity?
