jon boat project

Im working on the ultimate trolling jon boat. I will pick it up tommorow, its in good shape but i need a trailer. If any of you have one, i will be willing to take it off your hands. Not looking at spending too much on this project, just want something to get me by until the crappie machine is back up and running. I have a 24V AP that i plan on putting on it, but havent figured out how to mount it yet. I should have some pic soon if any of you have any suggestions on how to mount it. Also have some spare rod holders that im going to put on it this week.

what kind is it i have put foot trollers on a few diff way on john boats pics would help=p
and what happen to the crappie machine

Its a small 12ft Jon boat, not sure what make. Blew the motor on the Stratos :( its going to be a while before im back in action.

hey di look here craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums i think i saw a trailer on it lastnight, aslo if your looking for some boat mods look at this site tinyboats some of these guys go way over on thier mods.

DI I have a trailer that I will give you ,it needs tires and bearings but would be perfect for small jon boat, thats what was on it before,the only thing is you would have to drive to macon and pick it up in the back of a truck but if you want it just let me know its yours

Thanks trollwhacker,
If you let me know what size tires i would need and type of bearings. I might just get them and come down there this weekend.

thanks so much

Drill if you need a ride we can meet you most any day with a little notice I'm 180 miles from amity ramp. my boat is set up for trolling but we can shoot docks to.

i just got home but i will check tomorrow the trailer is at the shop at work so i will check and let you know, i know it has 8 inch tires but cant remember if it is 4 or 5 lug pattern i will try to find out early and post as soon as possible what size axle and lug pattern i may even have the bearings here i was gonna have my own project oneday but i have a boat thats working fine so i would rather see someone else enjoy it that needs it.
P.S. i seen you on midwest crappie and really enjoyed it and besides that people like you fight for me and my famalies freedom and would love to help in any way i can.

Thanks so much guys, I enjoyed filming that show. Russ is a great guy who has the knowledge of a lot of great fisherman. If you ever get the chance to talk to him, bring a notebook, because he can catch crappie anyway thats known to man. Or you could just watch all his shows :) I watch them on those rainy Sat. and learn something more each time.

DI i checked the bearings they seam to be in good shape so i dont think it would be a problem, the tires are 4.8-8 5lug one is still holding air and the other i think just needs to be pumped up they would make good spares,but i would buy two anyway just in case. im gonna take it home tomorrow and see if i can get the other tire pumped up . my cell is 478-256-3653 if i dont answer live a message TW

thanks TW, i will give you a call this evening.
