Two years later this motor is going strong kzread.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

My late great grandpa had a lil green Jon boat, that he used for over 20 years then passed it on to us. And he called it “the greeny weenie boat”. And he still holds the “mondo” record in the family with a 14 pound bass😂

Small boats are great for squeezing into the back cuts and fishing that pristine, untouched water like you said. But I can't bring my buddies along. There's no space for my wife to lay out and tan when I'm fishing. For me, I don't need the extra room for rods or tackle; I want the extra deck space to bring other people. Like you said in your vid, it's all about personal preference. You buy a boat tailored to your wants and needs. As long as everyone is respectful on the water, it shouldn't matter what boat you have.

I totally agree I never have even been in a 81 thousand dollar Ranger Bass Boat ... only a John Boat ... In '93 went up to the lake in Gonzales , Texas ... The 4 H Lake on the Guadalupe River We always kept the John boat upside down when no one was there ... I went to flip it over and ready it to go fishing ... I discovered this nasty sheet metal gash on the bottom of the John Boat ... The tear was in an L shape 3 inches one way and 3 inches the other way ... I am a licensed commercial plumber with a Texas Plumbing License ... The gash really bumped me out and that's when my mechanical talent kicked in I grabbed my tool box out of the truck ... I found 6 different Toilet Tank to Toilet Bowl bolts with rubber bolt gaskets and washers. .. I cut me a small piece of plywood to fit on the bottom of the boat and one inside then took some oil based clear silicone and covered both pieces of plywood and then drilled 6 bolt holes ... Tank to Bowl bolts are made of brass and the head is smooth rounded for a flat head screwdriver... with the smooth part of the bolts set facing the water to not cause drag Tighten them with rubber bolt gaskets and washers ... turned the boat over and went fishing that day the repair patch is still covering that nasty gash tear on the bottom of the boat ...

Awsome boat! I've had a 14' tracker jon with a 6 hp Mercury and mounted trolling motor on the bow for 9 years and have had crazy luck both fresh and salt water fishing (live in SW FL). Your absolutely right about the convenience of weight for easy individual handling and the flat bottom for skinny water, and I'm talking about about 3 to 4" on low tide with the motor up. The only thing I would add about your commentary is mine (as yours) is riveted and not welded, which makes it a bit vulnerable on the bottom for hitting hard objects underneath the waters surface at any speed. Kinda found it out the hard way by getting a bit brazen in my endeavors. Easy fixes though, although a stump knocker or welded jon take a bit more solid abuse,yet are also way more expensive. Great site your running My Friend! Keep up the good work and best of luck and great moments when fishin'...

I have literally gone straight through and over bogs to get to fish. I love my set up. Especially when the lake is over 1000 acres and has an average depth of 2.5 ft that it sits on. Which is full of cattails and lily pads by the way.

I'm looking at getting a trolling motor but haven't selected one yet. I know the bigger the motor, the more voltage it will eat. You used a 12v on this....what size, brand, amps, etc? How long did it last being used all day? Thank you!

Great video . lots of good tips!!! Are you happy with the portable charger? How about your weedless wedge prop? I have same setup just way older jon boat. Thanks

My ideal boat would be a 14 foot extra wide extra deep john boat. A decent trolling motor, big battery, and a fish finder or whatever they are called nowadays. Primary power would come from a 9.9 Evinrude motor with a six-gallon tank. I think some nice comfortable seats would be nice too. This for me is but a dream, I am nearly 68 and on ss only. so no spare income for me. I have a scooter that I enjoy but that may go away as well because my back is toast. I enjoy bank fishing some different places so no boat is kind of OK. I know my dream boat is not the same as what you like but it is what I would like to have if I could.

how is it fighting the wind with the trolling motor? Are you able to use it to stay in one spot relatively easy,? Or do you have to anchor up since you don't have foot control.

I agree with everything in this video. I'll go one better. I purchased my 14 foot Jon boat at a neighborhood garage sale about fifteen years ago for $40. I purchased a small two wheel trolley for hand moving small boats that fastens to the transom and added a trailer hitch to the front of the boat so that I can tow it without a trailer. This isn't road legal, but it gets me to the nearby lakes. I added a trolling motor and battery and folding seat, all for less than $300. The most important part, as stated in the video, is that I can get into weed choked bays in water as skinny as 12 inches; and when I am there, no one else is because no one else can get there. Great video.

Andres Garcia I am a teacher, in NC so I am FAR from rich or even well off lol. I had a 16 ft alumacraft that my brother sold me before I got the triton. Around me if you want to fish the lakes, you have more than a kayak. There are plenty of places to put a kayak but they are just tiny creeks. I think a lot of what a person choses depends on the water around them.

These are literally every exact reason I've been wanting one 😫🤣

I have a 10 foot jon boat. Love it Bought it 15years ago never had one problem with it.

I clicked on your video and i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of video and your arguments! these jon boats remind me of traditional river fishing boats in east europe (where i'm from); čun and čiklja (dont bother pronouncing it). same flat-bottom build, only built of spruce or oak wood and more tapered towards the stern and bow.

My buddy and I went in together on a boat and we kept the budget at 1500. We wanted a Jon boat for all of the reasons you said. For 1500 we got a 14 foot flat bottom boat with a deck, a trailer, a 6 horse gas outboard, a foot controlled trolling motor and a 50lb electric trolling motor like you have. Also it came with a battery, charger and lights as well as a fish finder. It’s big enough to be comfortable but small enough to be manageable and there’s a lot less to go wrong with it mechanically than a big boat. We named it the “Ass Tracker” and can’t wait to hurt feelings of people with 40,000 dollar boats at tournaments lol

Dude get a kayak, it will change your game, you won't regret it. You can pick up a kick ass one for 180-250 from Dick's, Walmart, wherever.

James Reimer Few years ago I visited my in the panhandle of Florida. She had two kayaks, a two person and one person. She has a little lake behind her house that I ended up catching almost a 3lb bass and a small bass trolling with the yak. Then the next night I caught one that was a little over 6lbs!!! The 6lber pulled me around a little bit. It was fun but I really dont like them.

James Reimer I mean they do have there pros like being nice and stealthy like no noise. Can go in super shallow water, the price of them, can go on top of a car and they’re light.They’re just uncomfortable to me and it sucks landing fish in em with the paddle in the way and it’s all awkward. I just dont like em.

P85037 L I get that. Especially the uncomfortableness of it. I just bought a kayak for the first time this year. My last year from the bank my pb was like maybe 5 lbs, this year I've caught 6 all bigger and one double digit. Check my Instagram james.reimerrrrrrr if you don't believe me. I also have a 14 Jon boat stick steering with a 9.9, front mount trolling motor the works, but I prefer my kayak because of the stealth. I just bought a removable stadium seat that folds in the middle for $30 and it makes a huuuuge difference theyre are soooo many advantages to having one, but the only draw backs is uncomfortableness, and stability. But buy a seat and spend time in it and you'll get very comfortable and confident while fishing in one. You'll catch more and bigger fish all by just getting off the bank and in the water.

It would be cool if you could make a “what you need to know” video on fly fishing

Just picked up a 1968 10 ft Apache flat bottom for $100 yesterday. A farmer had it hanging in his barn since '99. Was given an older trolling motor and a Garmin Echo from a coworker..gonna see if I can learn a lil' bit about jon boat fishing. Gotta find me one of those long twisty handles😁

Good to have both. I agree with everything you said about small boat. But if you have to.travel some distance on the water to get where you are going the trolling motor will take all day

#KFNS #FTMW Love the vids man gets me pumped to go out and slang some baits. Btw I have a Guidelines Black Opps rod that you did in one of your Early arsenal videos😂 If you still don't have yours and would like one for nostalgia purposes I could send it to you.

little boats are waaaaaayyyy better . I don't even Have to explain Dude you Already said All the word would say also . I tell my buddy's there way better then BassBoat also Lol

Good luck with your new boat man it doesn't matter how big or how small it is as long as you're having fun and it suits your needs be safe out there

Great job man! Hope you’ve been successful.

Where did you get you're trailer? What brand is it, how much did you pay for it?

probably came with the boat in a package deal

You should put wheels on the back that you can take off when you put it in the water. I have done that with my little dingy and it makes it so much easier. Just carry it from the front of the boat and drag it so you don’t wreck the back of the boat

Just got a week ago a really nice 1981 Alumacraft 12 ft Jon Boat with a newer Yamaha 4hp and a really nice trailer for $650. In the end gave the seller a total of $800 and he sold me more goodies like lights, external gas tank and the hoses, trolling motor, 2 batteries and other small stuff. Planing to make a small deck by the bow with a storage opening for the battery and small stuff and paint the whole boat and get some seat cushions. Its a great boat for fishing and joy rides for my kids. Love the concept of Jon Boats. Light. Small but big enough. Super inexpensive. Close to zero maintenance. Pure fun.

Nice man thanks for the insights! Do you have any opinions on Jon boat versus kayak??

Where did u buy the trailer?

I'm sold ...I'm going to buy a fricking 12ft John Boat

I just got my 1040 Lund and all sorts of gadgets. 5Hp 2021 Honda coming in next month, minn kota... etc... Dude, Everything you said. I feel like I'm you. We share the exact same vision. Thanks for the great video. I've shared it and subscribed. Happy fishing!, and keep this content going -it's awesome. The pole idea? Yes.... never thought of that.

So true! Jon boats are the best. I have 16' 70" beam with trailer I bought when I was in my mid 20's in 95 and still have. I custom mine out added a 15hp, trolling motor, fish finder etc over time and still love it.

550 at the bass pro shop here but doesnt come with the trailer. What do you think Jon? Still a good deal? Also I was thinking about putting a solar charger in. Just so it can charge while I'm fishing.

9:28 you just convinced me of getting a job boat.... I feel the same way....don't want to die every time I set the hook..... LOL...... thanks for the video!!!!!!!

I hear ya. I've come close a few times to take the dive into buying a bass boat and having a 300 or $400 payment, but that's only one thing that stopped me. The wife would be okay with the boat, but then I'd have to buy her something at the same cost... bummer

I have a boat exactly like that except mine 10 ft and I can go anywhere in mine and I carry snacks lol

David Tilley very important cargo!

I'm currently looking for a small cheap flat bottom boat or kayak for just that purpose. Most of the fish I catch are close to shore or in shallow water. I have no interest in going 80 mpg, just want quiet access to where the fish are. Thanks Jon for another great video

I'd love 80mpg boat 😂

I live in Buffalo, NY with ample access to the Niagara River and Lake Erie. Fantastic resources for boating, but many of the driveways and garages in our city are small, if the home even has either one. My only off-street parking for my boat at my home is off a narrow alley, not wide enough for a trailer and car together to navigate the turn backing in. So, what's an aspiring boat owner to do? Owning a 14' StarCraft with a small trailer allows me to disconnect my boat and trailer and "back it in" by hand. I'd never be able to haul a heavier boat in by hand. It's one of the few practical ways I can enjoy boating without moving from my home, and that makes me happy. There are days I stay in the river when it gets choppy...but the Niagara River is bigger than most lakes anyway. If anyone reading this is in a similar situation (small boat, big water) you may want to look for v hulls that handle waves better. Also spend time learning how your boat handles chop before you head out into something unruly. Verdict: small boats in dense population are a win. Small boat beats no boat. It's all about time on the water, not looking cool.
