[QUOTE="fatherfire89, post: 345756, member: 4679"] I am thinking about building a small jet boat but I dont want to spend lots of money and it doesnt need to be pretty. I have my heart set on a 12' aluminum jon boat with an older 60/40 2-stroke jet. I figure any used cheap 12' jon boat I buy isnt going to be able to support a 60/40 2-Stroke while trailering over a bumpy gravel road so I want to strengthen the transom and hull to support it. Maybe run some 1/4" thick angle iron down the sides just below the rails and add a piece of 1 1/2" thick plywood to the transom??? Just thought you guys might have some other suggestions. Thanks! -Mark [/QUOTE]
