Would anyone know of anyone that can restore an old jon boat. Ive googled it for my area (South Atlanta) and Ive really only been able to find someone about 4 hours away in Valdosta, Ga. Doesnt necessarily have to be a shop but anyone in general that help be get this boat in shape to catch some bass. Right now, I notice a small in a couple places. Even after 5 hours of fishing (which is mostly what I do), there less than a gallon worth of water thats come on my jon boat from somewhere on the back and the transom. I am noticing a little cracking where you put the plug now too so now I just want to get it in shape for some fishing before anything gets worse and I find out on the water.

 

James.Brown1758@gmail.com is the email if you have a contact that I would definitely appreciate. I even consider decking it and make a bass boat transition if it isnt super costly.

 

Thanks again,

God bless!

Thanks! I knew I would find the answer here. Thank you!

It's not cheap, but it's great stuff.  My dad used it many years ago to stop some small leaks in the roof of a travel trailer.  He just coated all the seams.  No more leaks.

 

Surface preparation is key.  Follow the instructions that come with it, and you'll be fine.
