I dont need a bigger boat, mine is 18.5, but I want a bigger boat. I think 22 would be better, never got enough room!

Need and want. The 12 ft jon boat is fine for what I do, but I want a longer narrower boat because it will go faster with my Thai longtail outboard. instead of a 1236 jon boat I'd rather have a 1530 or 1632. I'd have to build it myself because no one makes them in those dimensions.

I built a wooden boat once
Not too hard to do if you have the time
Frame and marine grade plywood, epoxy, fiberglass

Also for me, I d love more room to have several types of fishing set up,
Drifting if I find perch
Trolling if I see schools
A few shooting rods

thx, brett Where do you get marine plywood?

I'm fine with what I got. I need to sell some junk so I won't try to carry everything with me. Boat might float higher in the water. LOL

Might have to get it ordered from lumber supplier
Any boat building supplies store has it but it's very pricey,
Regular luan plywood https://m.lowes.com/pd/Lauan-Plywood/3604746
Works too but it has voids and may snap while bending sharply, but it's very water proof

Marine grade is thinner than 1/4" ply
