Fair warning truck bed liner will help with abrasion, but the drag is insane. I lost almost ten mph when I painted the hull with truck bed liner. So you have to decide is the durability worth the sacrifice of speed.

Awesome Job👍🏾💯🔥🔥🔥. I just bought my 1st boat yesterday. A used 12 ft jon boat. Finding your Channell is a true Blessing. Do you have beginner videos for a newbie like me, that instructs on how to start from scratch? I subscribed.

Very nice finished product👍 Makes me wish I would have sprayed when restoring my Jon boat. Good job👍👍

Since it’s been a while I’ll ask. How’s it holding up? Did you do more than one coat? Debating paints but this looks like the more khaki color I want for inside.

Great video, nice work! Thanks for posting. Just picked up a 2002 and thinking of following your lead. First want to cut some serious oxidation from years of sitting. Any tips? Tried Starbrite aluminum cleaner / restorer. Still chalky.

Thank you Kevin for your support! I’ve used naval jelly to remove rust and sanding! Are you taking it to bare metal? And is there enough aluminum to sand? I’ve seen some that have almost pock marks.

Starting on my jon boat restoration now. When you re-riveted, did you put silicone in the holes first?

Looks really good and great video. Can I ask why the braces are welded on at the transom?

@flipmyjonboat4485

3 жыл бұрын

It was like that when I bought it. I assume the previous owner had a bigger outboard on it & not enough transom to support it. Their “fix” was add those aluminum bracings. My sturdy transom did the job!

What size air compressor on did you use

Can u roll it or should I spray it with spray gun?

What kind of primer did you use?

Could you please tell me how to prep the bottom before using the acetone, and how to use the acetone to prep. I'm a total newbie to this. This is my first ( boat) jon boat ever.

@flipmyjonboat4485

Depending on the condition of the boat and the condition of the paint, I would recommend removing the old paint from the bottom with either a paint stripper or sanding it off. If you bring it to the bear aluminum you’ll need to use the self etching primer on any bare aluminum on your boat. Find me on Instagram at the same name and we can link up there to talk more! Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing your progress.

You need to rotate the air cap horns 90 degrees if you are going side to side, the way you have it the fan would be best for a up and down spray pattern. Looks good, great video series.

How has the bed liner and paint held up over time with wear and tear?

@flipmyjonboat4485

3 жыл бұрын

So far so good. There are a few scratches on the paint from me working on it and using it. I’ve only launched the boat from land once (not straight into water from a ramp & trailer) and the bed liner is fine. I would assume repeated use like that might wear it some...one of the previous comments recommended gator glide which is on the agenda soon!

how much paint did it take to paint the whole boat inside and out. i have a 12 ft jon boat i’m painting but trying to figure out if the quart will do it or if i need a gallon?

Did you ever find out? I'm wanting to do the same on a 1232

Recommend a paint respirator not cloth mask to protect lungs. Boat looks great.

Just remember the purpose of bed liner is to be tough yes but also grippy and of u go shallow it definitely wont help one bit, plus all the drag. Its worth it to get gator glide, it tough and its slicker than snot. There is just some things worth doing right and this is one of them. Bed liner is great on the inside though, just don’t use black

Thank you for the support and advice! At the time, gator glide would have been double what I paid for the boat (for real, no exaggeration) but the more I put in to the boat, it’s definitely an upgrade I’m going to look in to.

Flip My Jon Boat i get the price difference, i live by the buy once cry once thing lol. Costs more upfront but the performance gain is worth the money for me. Its just a preference, alot of people dont get into mud as much as i do so for some gator glide isn’t worth it but sometimes my ducks spots have almost no water so i have to skate across the mud so for me personally the gator glide is a must have

I’m glad (and humbled) I helped. I took it out last weekend on a local pond, no boat ramp and slid it in. I didn’t see any “damage” after getting it back on the trailer. I did lightly sand it before applying the truck bed liner...I don’t think I mentioned that earlier or in the video. Keep me updated on your Jon Boat!

Paint is holding up well! I’ve washed the boat a few times and it’s perfect. There was some scratching where I was pulling my floor panels out - but I think that’s to be expected with any paint in high abrasive areas. I’ve heard reviews from other followers they’re hesitant to use Majic paint but it’s held up well so far.

Dude, do long passes with the spray gun. You would have been done SO MUCH faster and much more even coverage. You should be able to cover your entire wing span per section. You would have sprayed that in no time, had much better coverage and wasted less paint.

Professionally….. 😂😆nice…

You really should get a 3M Respirator. They are about $30 and make a huge difference. That gator facemask you have is not going to protect your lungs at all.
