My Custom 14ft Jon Boat to Bass Boat Conversion! (INSANE TRANSFORMATION!)
Ойын-сауық
If y'all are looking to do your own jon boat to bass boat conversion, hit up Tiny Boat Nation at tbnation.net They have the best prices and everything you could possibly want or need for your build! It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of time. My dad and I would spend countless hours in the garage building it and talking about it, so shoutout to my dad, because without him I don't think I would've been able to do it.

I just picked up a barebones 14ft aluminum boat. Thanks for the inspiration! Love your build
Defiantly one of the best jobs I've seen so far. Fantastic job! I did something like this to my 62 15 ft starcraft. But no near what you did. I will be re doing mine. Thanks for the Fantastic ideas.

Killer build man! Did you buy one of the kits or just piece it together and did you incorporate any drain bleed off system into the subfloor?
@RacksnBass

Thanks for the comment! So I didn’t buy the aluminum kits from tiny boat nation, but looking back now I think it would’ve saved me a ton of money and time trying to find aluminum from Home Depot and stuff. I did however buy the livewell starter kit which worked great.i did not however incorporate any drain bleed offs which looking back now, I should have.
love this build i am building almost same boat this winter

Dope build... I'm in the process of making my 15ft deep vhull into a bass boat... already sanded, and primed it, restored the trailer.. I'm bout to start my framing in the inside my next weekend off... where did u get the material for inside the rod locker? And how much did it run u?

Thank you for the comment! The inside of my rod locker is actually fiberglass for like showers at Home Depot. It was not expensive at all maybe $20 for a sheet of it. Highly recommend it. Easy to clean and looks amazing.

How much did this cost you I just got my hands on a v16 tracker. And want to do something similar to yours

Well in 2020 it was around $2k
How did you get the deck so high? Most v hull builds, including some on TB nation, have lower decks and more gunnels. I like yours best and what I plan to do. Any info helps. Awesome boat.

It is, if you have never done wiring before lol. I had my dad help me alooooot on the wiring of the boat and trying to hide and run wires and make it look professional. It can be done but I honestly think it takes the most time.
