My old boat came back to me last weekend

Featured Replies

This is a jon boat I once owned, gave to a friend, then came back for a second chance. Although she is very rough (sat outside for 5+years), I have made a promise to make her over into a small water fishin machine!!!LOL

Like always the road to recovery is a long one, so wish me luck.

When I'm done I'll post pics of the "process"

You have your work cut out for you.... ;)

To say the least..........but she's all I've got for now so on the project goes ;)

Looks like she's got a lot of potential there. Good luck!! Shoot us some photos when as yo ugo. I love seeing the transformation.

With a little hard work, you'll have it looking better than new. It has potential. Keep us posted on your progress.

Beats beating the banks, good luck, you will do fine.

A sheet and a half of plywood, some indoor/outdoor carpeting, two pedistal seats, and a trolling motor with a battery is all she needs.  SWEET!!!

Raul, that is a nice rig.

My plans are simple:

Decking for the front and sides with gray carpet

Mettalic silver paint to match my truck

Tiller style trolling motor (still to buy)

One pedestal seat(still to buy)

5 horse motor

At some point I would like to buy a trailer for it.

I am still in the paint prep stage,I will post some pics later .

Looks like a good start to me.

A BASS fishing machine.

d**n! thats cool !!

what type of boat is that?

Carbon fiber seagull wing bottom hull, reason why it comes equipped with a 15 HP even though it 's only 12 ft. But you can do that with a 12 ft jonboat with a 10 HP.  ;)

Hey dadto4

I have a boat similar to that but mines 14' and the bench in the middle is actually a huge livewell, when you post pics will you put some detailed ones of how you deck it?  I want to deck the front of mine but not sure how to get started.  Thanks
