Naturalselector Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagrrich Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Here's another link, I've got no connections to this site or the owners. Just thought it might be of some help http://www.myjonboat.com/bassfishingusa.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad_Master Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Bagwell Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 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. JT Bagwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
