Any thoughts on WeldBilt jon boats built down in Arkansas. Looks like all they do is welded jons but in sizes I've never ran into as of yet. The 12ft models are interesting in they can be built in a 1242 or even a 1248 format. Casting decks in 40, 48 or 60 inch in length.....looks like anything you could ever want in a jon boat they could do.

Love em  

The wide bottom keeps them stable

What size is your boat and how do you have it powered. Just wondering if they could build a 1242MV in the same layout as yours....maybe powered by a 15hp 4stroke..?

It's actually an Alweld which is almost identical to the Weldbilt both sell extremely well in southwest Louisiana. This is my first Alweld before that I owned 3 Weldbilt boats.
