Jon Boat Restore & Modifications | DIY Jon Boat Extreme Makeover | Jon Boat to Bass Boat Full Build!

Can’t wait to watch this boat transformation, I still remember how awesome your first one turned out!

You did a great job. Should last a long time!

good job but i think selling that gorgeous boat was a mistake. How was it too big??? for catfishing u need some space to turn around.. not worry about wind and waves..

I am from Edmond! Glad to see someone close doing the same stuff as me

Awesome job!

Really Nice Restoration ! Good Size Boat. Best Of Luck, My Friend.

You have some awesome skills. Looks great.

Turned out great getting ready to start a build on my 1648 flat bottom

Should of did the folding tongue.

This channel popped up outa nowhere. I love smaller boat builds. I sat and watched the whole thing and do not regret a single second. Very well done sir.

Cool video man. Hell of a project forsure. For me personally. I would recommend starting with a welded hull. Yes, it costs more, but the resale value is double, plus you could have skipped a month's worth of work, and just started building.... if that boat lasts 5 years without a leaky rivit I will eat my words lol. I do this for a living so been there and done that. Learned some hard lessons from those old rivited hulls. You were so close with the paint. Hammered pain leaves a texture. It will cause drag. I love the color, but metallic dark metal is the same color but smooth.

How long is that boat?

you should think about putting a hard cover over your battery and fuel tank there are a lot of thieves in the world.

How many cans pf primer did you use

I use Rust-Oleum paint on my trailer too but I like to brush it on so that it's nice and thick

Those steel angle irons to the rear… change them to aluminum. Steel and aluminum, when wet, will cause electrolysis/corrosion. Not to mention the eventual rust.

I seriously need to get a bigger trailer

Nice very Nice take my money 💰 I Want it

I definitely understand the lack of ribbing issue I have an 87 StarCraft and I have no ribbing at all the 3 bench seats are the side support

Very cool build!

Well done Sir.

Looks great! Thank you for sharing

Man you have built a really nice boat there. I love those ionic batteries also. I run one on my motorcycle.

Good work, sir

Love the video!

Just a beautiful build! And a great video to go along with it, job well done sir!

Question. Do you know what make that boat is? I have a boat that looks identical, but I can’t find any markings on it anywhere

What brand motor would you say for a 11.5 flat bottom jon boat

My god that is an AMAZING transformation. You have me wanting to get another tiny and do something like this myself!

The ribs prevent the water from flowing from the front of the boat to the back of the boat. How do you overcome that?

Hey Boss,

With that 9 gallon tank, have you considered installing those beaver tail boat pods?

I installed mine with rivets as well as applying some 3m 5200. That may give you some added floatation to your stern and help your peace of mind.

That is an amazing build great job wish I could do that

Real nice!!!!

What an incredible build! I’ve been watching small boat builds for several months in preparation. I just bought my first boat last weekend which is a 1960 14’ aluminum Cadillac and I think you set my blue print! Thank you for the great inspiration!

Turned out really good. This is almost exactly how I’m wanting to build my 69 StarCraft Seafarer 14ft. Great video, thanks for sharing.

That's a pretty awesome build!

Those wire nuts are probably gunna give u problems eventually. When u have a chance you’ll definitely wanna do heat shrink

Awesome video and beautiful build!

Your transducer will not work if you use the same battery for your electric motor.

<Broken Arrow I'm about to start a boat like this good vid

beautiful work!

Invest in a respirator mask. Could save your life.

This man is living the tinkering man’s dream.

I love doing this type of restoration, I even started my channel doing the same thing BUT with small kids, wife, and work it’s hard to do this full time or even constantly. Congrats to you for living the dream and capturing the content so that we all can enjoy the ride with you. 🎉
