This is the 1964 jon boat that I bought w/ trailer for $450. Took about 35-40 hours to restore. 12' long with xtra deep gunnels. Extremely stable for a jon boat. Boat stands me $1200 with 2 new monster batt's, motor, trailer tires and bearings, etc. Herculiner (truck bed liner) used for bottom, transom and foot rests. Paint is interlux brightside.

Thanks everyone!
No, I still don't know the make of the boat, only that it's a 1964.
As for the paint , I used all interlux products from beginning to end. Etching primers, solvent washes, thinners, and base coat primer. The actual color is Brightside polyurethane in fire red.
On the bottom, transom and footrests, I used herculiner (blk)
I used brightside because Together the technologies create a one-part polyurethane which gives the look of a two-part polyurethane with the application ease of a one-part enamel.
Oh yea, I opted to use a brush as opposed to a roller because of all the angles and tight spaces.
Thanks again for all your comments

One last thing, the paint is designed to "flow" so you don't see brushmarks but this requires a lengthy process to actually be effective. First you have to use an etching primer to "bite" into the metal. This only takes about 2 hrs to dry.
Then after solvent wipe down, apply the first coat of pre-kote primer. This is the first of 3 coats of primer which each take
16hrs
to dry!!!! The same for each coat of paint(3)!! Now don't forget the hand sanding and solvent washes in between each coat of primer and each coat of paint,.lol
I guess what I'm saying is the results are great but it's a very lengthy, involved process. About a week overall and thats only after all the prep work is done. Most would say that's alot for a little jon boat but I use it ,literally, a minimum of 4 days a wk. so to me it's worth it,lol.

Excellent job dude.Looks great!
I like how you did the floors-made them flat all the way across......thats how mine is now.
Did you happen to notice how light the boat was BEFORE the transformation?I'm just asking beacuse when I did mine many years ago,I painted it with NAVY approved marine paint and it gained a whole lot of weight and we could barely carry it afterwards(to the hard to get places).....but I guess it doesnt really matter as long as you have a ramp.Just thought I would ask if you noticed a difference in weight.

SWEEEETT, Nice Job, LBH!! Everything looks great, paint job, carpeting, seats. But I really like the handles on the back...Nice touch!!
Was the storage hole under the front seat always there?
Also, the foot rest areas on the top side of the boat...good idea! That is a very sweet boat, you should be proud!

I have a friend who has almost the same boat. He used marine wood to make a deck and cut out the middle bench seat. It has a rod storage locker on the left side and storage underneath both decks, front and back. He used to have a 9.9 Mariner on it until someone stold it off the back at Dale Hollow Lake, Kentucky. He has a 7.5 Evinrude now. His is either a 15 or 16 foot long and runs like a scalded dog on the lake, especially with the 9.9 Mariner.
He runs it mostly on smaller lakes, 10 H.P. or less, even though he has taken it to Dale Hollow, he hugged the shore-line for obvious reasons.
I noticed you didn't have a gasoline engine on the back. If there is one in your future I wanted it to be known that my buddy's boat with marine wood, accessories, two 220 pound plus guys and motor handles great on small H.P. lakes.
The boat and seats look deluxe... 8)

GREAT JOB!!!
Just wondering, how much of the paint product was needed ( Primers & Paint) and what was the cost involved for the painting process?

thanks again everyone.
As to the weight, I used 3/8 cdx plywood then coated it with fiberglass resin to make my own "marine grade" plywood. This is much thinner than the wood most people use to make floors but I did the same in my friends boat 6 yrs ago and the carpet (in the front) wore out before the wood. His boat gets ALOT of use. The main weight gain factor usually is the wood that is added. The boat weighs less than 160, I am sure of this.
The place I fish primarily has no ramp. It's landowner access only and my uncle owns a chunk of land on it but it is about a 15 ft path to the water. THen there is about 6 ft of large rock that the boat has to slide across. This part added alot of wear and tear to the bottom of my friends boat so I went with the herculiner bottom which I must say, is holding up very well after 4 launches.
The lake is the backup reservoir for RI so elec motors only. I have a 9.9 and a 5 hp motor if I ever need them but really dont plan on using either. I will be going to NH for the smallie spawn next yr and will probably use one then but otherwise......
The paint cost was about $170 when all said and done. I already had the brushes, sand paper, and mixing trays so that saved me a little bit. I went a little heavy with 1 coat etching primer, 3 coats base primer and 3 coats of red. I want this thing to take the abuse we dish out. I ended up using 1/2 quart of etching primer, 2 1/2 quarts of base primer and 2 1/2 quarts of red.
When I was researching the herculiner, It said that the 1` gall kit would cover a 6' bed but another quart would be needed for an 8 ft bed. I figured If I needed another quart I would just buy it but get this..... I used 1/2 the gallon and that was 3 coats!! If i HAD KNOWN i WOULD HAVE HAD THE TRAILER READY(PREPPED) BECAUSE tHE PRODUCT IS AIR REACTIVE, MUST ALL BE USED WITHIN 24 HRS OF OPENING CAN. i DID NOT HAVE THE TRAILER READY TO PAINT SO i WASTED 1/2 GALLON! bUMMER!! (yes, herculiner can be used on galvanized trailers!!)
Yes, the hole in front seat is original to boat. They had a bit of character back in 64 I guess. Also notice how wide BOTH seats are and the lip on the edge which allows you to have a nice finished edge with the carpet.
Any other questions, I'll be happy to answer. Thanks again for all the positive responses!!! Catch 'em up.

What a great looking boat. I'll bet you have to fish on cloudy days so the fish and other boaters won't be blinded. You might want to check out Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

. I fish on electric motor only lakes and the three blade prop helps with a little extra speed.
