Thread: Jon boat

[QUOTE=Iceman512;2264301]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.[/QUOTE]

I like the idea of making a front deck in those lil boats, we are in the process of making one in my dads smaller boat now as I once did with a smaller boat I had, well me and dad done it. It creates more storage, and makes the boat more stable by a better walking surface and added weight. Couple other things I'd do, one since you've got a hand control trolling motor I'd go with the extended big foot arm on it. I put a dimmer switch in the floor of the boat on my lil boat where I would least turn it on with my foot if it was in the right direction making it more hands free. If you spider rig ever you might wanna think about mounting a good 4 rod holder on the front too, just an idea.

I would get in it and go fishing. Somebody else said it, each boat is unique to the user. As long as you are happy with it, that's what matters
