Great job! Your “rant” about learning to fish before you get a bass boat, was spot on! I couldn’t agree more. Can’t wait to see you and Max out there catching slaunches !

Not gonna lie, that's sicker than any boat I will ever own

Absolutely love this. I've been using a 12' aluminum boat that my uncle made and been looking for an upgrade and this is it!!!

Excellent comment on starting kids in small boat . They learn to fish as well how to take care of it . Look awesome. Good luck on the maiden voyage . Cheers

Dude perfect timing, I just bought a little 11 foot aluminum boat just like that. Thanks for the vids man.

I think this is a great direction to go . Lots of people don't have a nice big boat and just fish for fun, a little boat like this can get in most anywhere and won't break the bank! Keep it real !

I am boat builder at Intrepid powerboats, who builds the best offshore CC and Cuddy fishing boats on the market. A close second would be Contender and Yellowfin. The rigging on the Intrepids is insane. They make sure Every screw is in the same position before delivery. You did an effin awesome job. I would name it “sluanch sticker”. It just fits. Also. Use 2 inch pvc for a rigging tube in case you add things later. Just and idea but awesome job. I grew fishing on a John Boat and, while in salt water, I landed some 36 inch bull reds and doormat flounder with too many blue crabs to count. SLAUNCH STICKER ready for you and the little guy. GREAT JOB!!!

My parents bought me my first boat for my 15th birthday and I still had to pay them back😂 but it’s a nice little boat.

Building a boat out like this with my daughter this summer. She's got bank fishing pretty good, time to learn this way on the water! Thanks for the content man

Can't wait to see a follow up video on how well that casting deck works. I have a boat about the same size I'm thinking about decking.

Your assessment of highschool kids getting bass boats without knowing how to fish is spot on! And while I wouldn't do this kind of project since I'm a kayak angler, this is pretty cool!! -Mike

What you did to that jon boat is awesome. Makes me want to get a Jon boat to have me a little project like that. I`m glad i found your channel watching one of Flair videos. Keep up the good work and hopefully we`ll see you one day catching real Slaunches down in Texas with Flair.

I’m glad I found your you tube channel n kind of want to get one turn it in to a bass boat see if I can do it if get ready for some questions. Again you good with what ur doing keep it up my friend.

The Slaunch Launch is very cool!.

That's great! I am thinking about adding a removable fore-deck to my vee-bottom boat. Something that laps the thwarts maybe. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the treat my friend and I have to tell you you did a outstanding job on that boat!I got to learn how to do my deck now while using aluminum angles and it's gonna be my first time using a rivet gun too.well good luck on your first test in the water and wishing you blessings in the future n keep posting video my friend! Blessings from edinburg tx!

Inspired now to get mine done. Thank you!

I've watched quite a few videos from MF, but this is definitely the one that made me subscribe. Your statement about not buying a $70K boat is what put me over the edge. Nice work. I'm inspired to make my own mods. Keep it up, my man.

Currently fave fishing KZreadr most exiting vids

Been fishin banks for a long time, picked up a kayak, now lookin to get a jon boat and do something like that. Learned to find fish by google maps and walking miles to get to the fishing spot before I could drive. Completely agree with your little rant brother

I adapted my Jon boat in a different way. I removed the center seat, and laid down a sheet of Aluminum, and installed a pedestal seat. On the sided I made storage to run from stern to bow, with rod holders on top. I run rivers in mine so I wanted the weight to be as low as possible. With a 9.9 Merc, 2 stroke, this 2 ft hull flies along, and with a bow mount electric, it's sweet, not pretty though. Yes it does go in the bed of my truck easily too. I must say this I do like what you've accomplished with your hull.

Great job... love the boat. TY!

Great Jo's dude, thought the tutorial was on point! LOVE the posts man!

Damm looks really good! Good job!

Dude! Don't cut yourself short!! That's an awesome job you done on that little boat. I'd love to fish out of it.

Finally the video I’ve been looking for🙌🏽I’m copying this set man🙌🏽🙌🏽

I do this stuff in January through March when fishing is really tough. Cool stuff.

Nice vid. Fun, can't wait to see it in action.

Very nice project and great vids! Keep up all the good work mane!

Good vid. nice to see you have more than just fishing skills. Keep up the good work. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Looks great!

Did you screw the angled aluminum through the outside of the boat?

Nice job! One recommendation for the future is get Rhino Lining type covering and paint the inside of the boat. I did it on my 16 ft Starcraft on both the inside of the hull and top and bottom of the plywood. I did the same as you by treating the plywood as well. Or maybe I was just a bit OCD when I did mine! 😁😁😁. You've given me some great ideas to modify my modified boat as a boat owner is never done working on their boat's! Great job!

Dude the boat is friggin sweet! Can't wait to see it on the water.

Great video thank you for sharing!

Love the boat and attitude toward making it and the appearance of the boat. Id love to have a boat like that haha.

Good job man. Looks good can't wait to see how it is on the water.

you killed this build! love it!

I have a design for a two wheel trailer that hooks on to the transom for moving it once you get it off the bed of the truck to the water with out dragging it. You might find that you want the battery centered on the back. Nice job!

amazing job bro!

looking great

sweet job I'm not a high school kid but just got a small boat to learn to fish off a boat.

Just reaffirming my name suggestion of “The Aluminator” ...really great job on making that Jon boat into a decent bass boat. Some suggestions: On the underside of your compartment lids you should attach some clips to hold bags of soft plastics. You can simply go to any office supply section and get a box of bull dog clips. Attach them to the underside of the compartment lid and you have a quick way to access the soft plastics you use the most. Another tip would be to get some battery operated, LED tap lights. You can put them on the underside of the compartment lids or on the inside of the hull to give you some hassle free lighting for those early morning or late night Fishing hours.

Love what you did with the boat man looks good that's also what I learned to fish in and I couldn't agree with you more about the high schoolers parents running out and buying them a brand new bass boat I fished a tournament on lake Guntersville here in Alabama Saturday and I bet there was 50 of them that showed up with 60 to 70k dollar boats but most of them only weighed in 1 fish so you definitely need to crawl before you walk.

BRIAN HILL so true bro

“Rocket Slauncher” or “Grenade Slauncher” You seem like a down to earth dude and you keep me laughing. Would love to fish with you one day. Keep the vids coming big guy, tight lines!

Thanks for making this video awesome content plan on doing this to my boat, just subscribed👍👍

Sweet ride for sure

Awesome job on LIL JON it looks pretty sick!!

Thanks for putting me onto this idea

That things very cool. Good work

Awesome build

Nice work man!

I love that your pursuing this rock n stay motivated

AWESOME! can not wait to see the boat mod vids!

Great job! How tippy did it make the boat putting the platforms up high?

Thanks for posting!

Ben floatin', Ben Catchin' , Milliken them slobs, 😂 I dunno. I love the video though and thanks for your help in numerous other videos on techniques and baits and for all that you do for the industry. You da man man.

Awesome can't wait to see it done

Looks nice!!!

Great Video !!! Just for clarification 60 years ago they were called aluminum row boats 🙂They typically sold for $130 brand new for a 12 ' because they were rated and sold by the bend in the hull, not the length from bow to stern.

Just wished I could have saw the boat more often!

Good job looks sick

Love the vid man, good info here. Nothing crazy but a cheaper, efficient little boat to get out on the water with and slay some hogs.

Good job man! Looks great

Boat looks awesome

Wow great job on the boat

My son and I did the same thing to a tri haul. Fun project.

Can't wait to see a fishing vid in the new boat

Can’t wait to see you fish out of the new “BASS BOAT” and btw I would give a 10 out of 10 on the whole project

Hell ya brother completely agree with at 13.00 -15.00 minutes. I'm in my early 20's a jonn boat is the perfect starter boat!

It's a pretty sick boat!

Jeez I remodeled mine too but yours looks way better, those hinges and bars to keep the compartments open are really nice!

This is pretty sweet!!

Wicked awesome!

That’s so dope good job bro

I see your boat trailer says smithville marine. I live 20 minutes from there. Wondering if you bought it down here? Have you ever fished smithville?

Great Modification and inspiring, and it Will Fish Great !,,,🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Wow buddy, I had no idea that you were so good with fabrication. That came out really nice. It looks really good!

Nice man!!!

Bad ass dude, I dig it.

Looks great man

Awesome build bud!

Can't wait for a vid using it!

Built 2 and the weight is getting there. Really didn’t need compartments. Can just throw in a tackle bag. If not be sure add drain holes in bottom of containers. Good luck

My dad got me 14 foot V-bottom boat that's 50 years old, made me sand it Down, paint it and weld the parts that needed to be welded on the trailer by myself. Then he helped me install the front deck. Only thing I would do is paint it.

That was bad ass

How do you seperate the aluminum angles do you just at the angle and make 2 pieces?

Are your supports in the front that go down on an angle into the bilge riveted through the hull? Did you just rest them in the groove and it was sturdy enough? Thanks

how do you keep the boat balanced when fishing from a standing position??

I got the same boat an I loved what u did so I'm going to take it design

That is the most awesome thing ever big fan keep up the vids can't wait to see some videos on that thing!

Good looking boats I use pallets and ply wood for my Jon boat it's a little have but works

GBR! Sweet set up

Nice job bud I like it a lot

awesome vid

Very nice job I did my own 14ft. Alum . I got a good laugh about the gap for carpet around the hatches (learned the hard way myself) I bet you'll have a blast with it !!! Great DIY vid . I think t.b.n. goes into so much detail you miss the point .get some slaunches!!!!!

slaunch hunter might be a good name

Tiny Boat Nation!
