It makes a big difference! There's a lot to be said for peace of mine about your boat while floating around on a lake lol

What a difference tiding it up made nice job

Dużo porządnej pracy. Gratulacje, bo efekt finalny piękny 🤗💪

Nice

I've watched this myself a few times over now and it's still a trip to see how much went into this. This video was only a fraction of the work that went into it as well. Check out the full playlist here if you want more in-depth info on any thing you see on the boat! kzread.info/head/PLa2zX8loz2eGtLFpXLWm3ljLGciLKVVLg

When I first started watching your videos on this boat I didn't really like the white color that much. But over time it grew on me and now I like it so much I'm painting my jon boat the same color (except semi-gloss). haha I really like the way you have the anchormate on the front. I've been trying to buy a similar mount for my boat but that style is sold out everywhere. This was an exceptional build. Great work!

I love watching your vids brother.Keep up the good work.

Welcome! Great time to find the channel currently working on a new 14ft Jon!

You didn't use any marine plywood? What thickness of plywood did you use? Did you put cloth on when fiberglassing? Did you think about using hydro-turf at all? Looks good, great job.

I used hydroturf / eva foam on my next and current build -- I love it! It stays nice and cool and hooks don't get caught up in it. I used 11/32 ply and sealed with the fiberglass resin, no fiberglass mat was used, just the resin to waterproof.

This is a great jon boat build, also love the color looks nice and clean! I would have wanted a bow mounted deck instead of the anchor, but that is my preference. How did you decide the center seat could be removed safely and still keep the boats rigidity? Is there a place somewhere you can do to find this out? I have a small utility boat I would like to remove the center seat on and I've seen other people weld an additional rib in this case.

There was bracing on each side of the bench seat so the seat itself wasn't proving much bracing. If the seat was the bracing I wouldnt have removed it.

Excellent build, great looking boat. This was a very informative video, especially the products you used in sealing the wood. What size is the motor on the boat. Again great job.

Looks great! What carpet brand and color did you get? … Where did you purchase from?

I went with an "Automarine" carpet from Menards. I believe it was just listed as Gray.

Learning from your videos! Did you ever have problems with the epoxy on bottom of boat cracking? Aluminum has flex to it, and epoxy does not.

No issues, it's all about choosing the correct epoxy. Some stay flexible and those are suitable for bottom coatings while others can be brittle and should be avoided.

I decided to not remove my middle bench seat. I don't have any ribs in that area. Did you attach the flooring wood to the boat?

Yes I did, I used small stainless screws into the ribs

@@mvboutdoors excellent! That’s my direction too. I just put the fiberglass resin on my transom pieces. One side. Fans and air cleaner going. You have an email?

How did you attach the wood to the benches for the seat where it wasn't a hatch ?

I see the sander but did you use any chemicals to help strip the paint or did you just sand it?

How stable is this boat without the foam? I’m just curious for my build

@mvboutdoors

Жыл бұрын

The interior foam doesn't add any stability or flotation, it's only there in case you get swamped or capsized

How much do you think you have tied up in this build?

@mvboutdoors

Жыл бұрын

Excluding the motor it was around $1500 for materials, all in all it wasn't too bad.

What size boat hood for me and my two boys? Looking for a decent size jon

@mvboutdoors

4 ай бұрын

For an adult and two kids I would recommend no smaller than a 1648, that will give you all room to move. If you can go bigger, I would!

You removed ALL the flotation but never replaced it!?!? Surely you're not counting on those sheets to save your investment if things go wrong! I would suggest filling those "storage" spaces with empty soda and milk containers as a form of "damage control".

There was more foam added back in all areas of the boat than was removed, no worries there.
