    Default Jon boat


    I fish out of a jon boat that my grandad got as a retirement gift in 86 and passed down to me about 10 years ago. I have done a few things to it to make it a lil more comfortable to fish out of. Does anyone else that uses this stlye boat have any mods that you would recomend adding to it.

    I was handed down just about like yours. I brought my front deck out even with the back of the center seat and picked it up level with the front. Done it that way so i could put a trap door in and use the front for storage.

    Looks good to me.

    Nice rig. Like that deck you built. I would put me some fenders on the trailer.

    If it works do not mess with it each fishing machine is built by experience by the person fishing I have 3 fine fishermen ( who catch a lot crappie ) that fish near me who use bare flat boats the only accessories they use are a paddle and 5 gal bucket They are allways smilling no broke gear to deal with.

    I like everything about the boat, unfortunatley when its in the garage I have an uncontrollable urge to tinker with it. I usually fish on conway so if you see me feel free to come by and say hello.
