Good info Bankc. Thanks.

Thanks guys

No one has a recommendation ?

I'm wondering what you guys are using as a lightweight battery, for a trolling motor in your kayak ? My motor is a 40 lb. thrust model. Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks

I found out the boat is from 1982. The boat does not have a floor, so it should be easier to see what is going on. Is my best bet having him launch it and see how much water comes in after a short time? Would you guys consider leaking rivets a minor thing ? Assuming the leaks are not from a seam, etc. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks. I'm leaning toward the Mod-V, but if I find a good deal on a flat bottom I may get that.

Thanks Big Angus. I sent you a message.

What is involved in repairing leaky rivets ? Is it an easy job ? There's a 14' Lowe Big Jon on Craigslist and the ad says there are a couple leaky rivets. I don't know the year of the boat, but it looks like an older one. Thanks.

Thanks. For us old farts, is the Mod-V just as stable in calm water, when standing and walking around ? Does it depend on the pitch of the bow ?

Anyone ?

It seems like the Mod-V is more versatile because it works well in calm water and small waves, whereas the flat bottom only works well in flat water. Correct ?

Wow ! Was that to buy a new one or a used one ?

Used jon boats don't come up for sale very often in my area. At least not the type I'm looking for.
