I have the same boat and motor. I like your minimalist build, everything you need and nothing you don't need. Does your outboard motor get in the way of the side scan transducer imaging?

Jon boats are a blast. Just left comment about my little jon on your other vid. I recently bought the same fish finder as you on sale. A simple upgrade I did on my jon was placing rigid insulation foam between the ribs which makes a perfect flat surface for plywood, makes floor stronger too I used left over lp siding from porch ceiling. The other thing I added was a mini jackplate with square aluminum tubing braces between transom and seat. Makes transom stronger, lifts motor, adds setback. My boat's only 10' with 4hp but would handle your 9.9 with the beefed up transom.

Heck yeah! I’ve been thinking about adding a floor.

I love this idea of a tiller handle and no console and a decent size boat as far as space savings it’s the best

Jon boats are awesome.

I just picked up a brand new 1436 jon from bass pro, it was a package deal with the 15 horse merc, and i i had to buy a trailer, all said and done out the door was 6,150. i wanted the 9.9 but i think it would have been more expensive because i would have had to get the boat and motor separate. I cant wait to get the motor broke in and have some fun with it. I love my hobie kayak, but i needed something with a motor for some of the bigger lakes, and river runs that i want to do.

Awesome vid homie!

Thanks brotha

How much would the whole setup weight? Boat, motor, and trailer?

Can I use the at my local saltwater river

Thanks for the video. I just found a Topper with a Yamaha 9.9 trolling motor trailer etc. Has some cheap decking I'd probably get rid of. I just worry about the size. Not that it's too small but that I'm too big @ 6'4" and 300. Thoughts?

Nice setup. Is your Motorguide 36” shaft? Do you mind elaborating more why mounted on side? Thank you.

Shaft is very short was actually designed for a kayak. (MotorGuide sent me the motor to do some content with it on kayaks.) I mounted it to the side the way I did because it was the only way I could get enough length for it to work.

looking for the paint name for this boat

Will you please tell me how long of a trip you’re comfortable towing that? I want to get one so bad, but I live in south Texas and all the public hunting land is 5 hours away average. I’m worried the tiny wheels aren’t meant for long hauls and I would need some guidance on retrofitting for king trips. Any advice would be great, thank you!

A boat that size you can ratchet strap into the bed a pickup. Obviously make sure the motor wont flip it up, but it's doable

I thought my 14x36 was perfect until i got a 14x52. I now think the 52 is perfect. It floats so shallow because of how wide it is and its still not that heavy. And the sides are higher and it sits higher out of water so it can handle bigger waves

Hey I'm wanting to buy me one of these trackers now I don't want to run a external tank for the motor so would a 6hp mercury push this well. If not I'll just get the 1542 with the 9.9 and run a external tank. The 6hp has the built in fuel tank to the mower so I just need a 1 gallon emergency tank for when i run out trying to minimize weight

I don’t know if a 6hp would plane it. I only run a 3.5 gallon tank with mine and it does fine. I could run it for like 2 weeks without filling up lol. Gotta love 4-strokes

I wish I could fish from a Jon boat. I can't stand in one of therm without them being really unstable and risking tossing me out of them, and the seating is so low that I can't get back up if I do sit down. I know there must be a technique to it, but I have searched KZread every way I know how and can't find jack. I will stick to the shoreline, but that looks like all I would ever need, if I could actually use one, lol. Tight lines and wet lures!

nice simple cheap way to go, i got 1985 starcraft 14ft with 25hp Suzuki, not decked super light, hauls ass with buddy. Jons are limited with waves but hey.
