[QUOTE="gmiller, post: 179534, member: 4797"] I have been kicking around the idea of restoring and modifying one of my grandpa's jon boats that I am now in posession of for quite some time. I want a boat that I can fish small lakes and rivers out of, and also duck hunt out of. I will be restoring my grandpa's 12 ft. flatbottom boat. As of right now I can't tell you what year or make it is. It has been in the family forever. It has Ohio watercraft stickers on it from 1964 and I wouldn't be surprised if it was on the water before then. My grandpa has been dead for 25 years, I never knew him, he dies a year before I was born, or else some of these questions could have been answered by him. Anyways, I finally got started on it tonight. Tonight I filled it up with water and checked for leaks, removed all hardware, washed the inside, removed silicone from the interior rivets, removed transom boards. I also took measurements of everything that I thought would be necessary for me. [/QUOTE]
