All, it is your very curious quick to ask questions new member. I am very interested in making a bass boat, this is inline with my cheep nature (man my wife would laugh at that one)!  I have found one very impressively converted jon boat, that one can be found at http://www.sofnet.com/~robertg/boat.htm.  Have any of you folks done this or something similar?  Or do you know of any sites with other ideas for making your own bass boat other than those that convert a jon?

We have a series of articles on it:

Perfect!!  This article makes me that much more excited about the project.  Thank you Glenn, I didn't even think to look through your database for something like this.

You're welcome!   ;D

wow that makes me wnat to turn my crappy john boat into that,  

Stickling, if you do it please post pictures.

This is my first post to this forum.

Just had to say "Job well done!"

That is a sweet set up. The 115 hp had me for a sec. Nice touch!!

Jag I was super impressed by that too.  Then I read it and was like oh you figgin A**.  lol

I would like to see how fast the 15 will push that little jon with all the wood, people, and equipment.

Here's another link, I've got no connections to this site or the owners. Just thought it might be of some help

I once knew a guy that got hurt on his job and couldn't work as a dry-wall installer, so while he had the time he lined his 16' john boat with mahogany veneer.  Not realy practical, but really looked nice.

This is my boat. It started off as a 12' V-Bottom boat. After months of hard work and dedication, I have the boat of my dreams.   ;D

LOL Ok so maybe I bought it that way.
