Good morning everyone. I am new here, I stumbled across the board after a google search. I have been hunting for a wide bottom jon boat for about three months now. Today I opened up my local classified site and did my usual search, but a new add appeared. I have looked at probrably thirty boats now, and have walked away from all of them. Needless to say I didnt have my hopes up for this one eighter, add says: 18 foot jon boat, flat bottom, very wide, has trailer. I called the guy, and could tell he was very young. I asked him the usual questions, and he made the boat out to be a diamond in the rough. I really didnt want to make the three hour round trip just to be disappointed again, so I asked if he could send me some pictures. I recieved the pictures, and loaded up the truck right away. I showed up an hour and a half later, and was very pleased at what was sitting in front of me. Three hundred dollars changed hands and I drove the boat home. I have been farting around with the boat today, but will post pictures tommorow. My plans are to deck the boat out, and then fish the boat out. I am wanting to paint the boat a flat olive green color, and was wondering if anybody had any pics of their boats painted, and where you got the paint. Please check back in the a.m. for pictures, and I will keep this post updated with progress. Also it is a mon ark brand boat, 18 foot, and very wide.
