Nice little motor. Please share an update asap! 😊
Great idea, I'm using it thanks!
Use PVC pipe and attach marine fenders too the end of the pipe. I'd use a 9' length of 1.5" PVC pipe so three feet overhang each side.
Saw ur truck this morning at a coffee shop if ur fishing in Jax I have some good spots to check out.
Thanks for the sub. I was only in Jax for the King Fish Tourney. Jax native, plan on moving back. Live out in Vegas now but I'll find my way back. We should link up whenever I'm back in jax. Always willing to find new spots and get some pointers from a brother fisherman. Till then, happy fishing!!!🎣
I could see someone using a cheap trolling motor sitting backwards
When there's a will, there's a way! Happy fishing!🎣
I’m considering getting one. My big question is how does it feel on your back after a while in the seat? I have a crapped out back and need something I can move around in a little bit. Last is just a me thing. It’s not a VIN number. The last letter “N” stands for number. It’s merely a VIN.
With anything, sitting for a while will mess with your back. For me, I have no issues. I stand from time to time with the assistance of the stand up bar and stabilizer for balance. But my back isn't crapped out. Seats are comfy but don't expect it to be zero gravity lol. I hope that answered your question. As for the vin#, it's a Hull Identification number if you want to get technical. Def need it to be correct to register it though. Happy fishing🎣
They're called well nuts. Agree the intented single point mount on each rail is too rickety. It may work but would bug the heck out of me watching it flex.
Thanks for the clarification. I've since upgraded and will post a video on what I did. Thanks for the comment. Happy fishing! 🎣
It's too bad a person can't reach far enough inside that round hatch to replace those screws with machine screws with washers and nuts for a stronger track install. You could replace all the track screws with hollow wall anchors which should secure the track making it more trustworthy.
Where did you purchase the motor for $399? Do you have a link? I cant seem to find this online. Thanks
Same did u end up finding it
Unfortunately it was the last one that was sold by a company called buffalo corporation through amazon. I tried to find the same deal so I could respond back to you guys with a link but had no luck. Sorry guys. Happy fishing🎣
Awesome day out, looking forward to seeing how you go in the tournament
Awesome walk around mate, just got the parsun branded one. Thx for the upload
Thanks. Video upload coming soon! Happy fishing! 🎣
A larger wake and those rails are toast imo. Only thing I would trust is a crosspiece between both stabilizers.
I have since upgraded. Video coming soon. Happy fishing🎣
I had the same issue trying to register. Finally got it registered but it took four times :(
I feel your pain. I'm glad you were finally able to register it. Happy fishing🎣🎣
I agree! I love that boat, but buying a separate adapter to add accessories, doesn't make sense. The transom plate should come with the biat. Cpl other issues as well. 100
I completely agree with everything you said. I've found ways around purchasing from Jonny with DIY. Videos coming soon! Thanks for the comment. Happy fishing! 🎣
Thanks....Not getting that, at all. "just tight it more" is not a good solution.
I agree as well. Happy fishing🎣
If you can adjust the trim, it may be good to try different angles. The better the trim, the more stable it will be.
I agree with adjusting the trim. The stability was an issue when not moving and at a stand still. Thanks for the pointer and comment. Happy fishing 🎣
It's alright, you caught my ear once.
Been waiting for this one!
Subbed. Wishing u luck. Getting my Jonny next month
Congrats on the Johnny purchase and thank you for your support! I will continue to do mods and reviews for the Jonny so you can reference and make a sound decision before making future purchases of Jonny products. Happy Fishing 🎣
I have had stabilizers on my yak for a while now. I researched the best kayak stabilizers and ended up going with Scotty Stabilizers as the floats are inflatable which is more buoyant then hard plastic and the mounting hardware is better. Its mounted by a Scotty 141 mount directly on the top of the gunnel wall. (I'd NEVER install them with standard plastic track rail, risk of popping out is way too high). I first had them on with well nuts and it worked until they experienced significant torque and they popped. After that went with backing and now it's like it's part of my gunnels it's on there FIRM but there is still flex. They amount of flex has to do with how thick of plastic your Yak/Boat/Canoe is made of. Hard/Thick plastic naturally has less give lightweight plastics have more give. All in all I have been on water with heavy chop, whitecaps and rollers and didn't come to flipping in fact I've never flipped and don't plan on it either.. They do what they're supposed to do and give you confidence to stand and fish in most situations. I highly recommend direct to gunnel with a backing plate. That's the best possible way they can be installed to give you piece of mind they are NOT popping out.
It's subscribers like you that makes content creation worth it's while. A community where we can learn and educate one another. Thank you for your comment and support! Happy Fishing 🎣
I would definitely be sending that back. Too many issues
Thank you for the comment! Jonny reached back to me and offered a full refund and told me that I can keep the stand assist bar. 👍🏽 For great customer service. Happy Fishing 🎣
Thanks for giving an honest evaluation of a product. Too many people only give 100% positive evaluations without any critiques.
Thanks for the comment. I try my best to be as transparent as possible. Happy Fishing!!!🎣
to start you got the rong set up what you should have got was the command stand from yakattack. i have one on my ss127 bonafide kayak love it, buy the right one.
Thank you for the comment. You're right, maybe I should of gotten the command stand. The good thing that came out of this is that others who are deciding to go with the assist bar now have an insight and can make a better judgement before purchasing. Happy fishing! 👍🏽
That has to be so hard on the rails. No way I would ever put that on mine
I can totally understand your concern. Unfortunately, I attempted to mount it directly on the Jonny bass itself, and still the same amount of flex. Stay tuned, I'm going to find a solution to this problem before my tournament.
Hey Larry, it’s Sopheak. Like the videos.
Hey Sopheak! I was wondering who NiteCap was. 😂 Thank you for your support!
Hey, i use them on my kayak from time to time when im on the Detroit River. I don't use them on small lakes most of the time. The track makes a big difference i can tell, i have my setup on a Old Town sportsman 106 pdl with the after market metal gear tracks from ketch. Seem to help me out when the water gets choppy for sure. Be safe brother, and definitely add a thick cutting board, or metal bracket under them so they don't pull out of your johnny boat 🍻.
Thank you for the sound advice brother, I'll keep that in mind. Happy fishing 🎣!
Look at you!!….putting yourself out there!!! Good job on the vid!
It's a learning process. Thank you for your support!
If someone is going to put those big things on a kayak they might as well just buy a bigger boat.
Normally I wouldn't but since I'm taking it 6 miles out into the unforgiving ocean and fishing for King Mackeral, a little stability is much needed. Plus I'll be the first to do so in such a small craft in this tournament. It's a challenge, It'll be fun! Thanks for the comment.
Jonny boat is more of a boat than a kayak. My brother has one and compared to my Pelican Basscreek, his is more of an SUV, and mine is more of one of those silly crossover car vehicles. 😂 He's going ocean fishing, so I won't blame him for adding protection. Another thing is that he can solo fish on almost any fresh water lake that has restrictions on gas engines.
@drjekelmrhyde thank you for the comment!
I removed the foot pedals immediately after purchase, they are a tripping hazard. I picked the craft because of the stability and pure simplicity. As my anchor is manual, my mini outboard is pull start with a tiller and I like to snorkel off the yak, too many obstructions and it become too hazardous. Personally I find the uni-track much more functional as for instance a rod holder can be loosened and moved way up or down the track with just a thumbscrew, in a matter of seconds. If you do not like the tracks you can totally remove it and just plug the two screw holes. I sit backwards and steer with the tiller while trolling, this craft is perfect for this. When cutting off those adjustment wings on your seat at the articulation point then your seat will also fit in sideways in the kayak, if you not a stiffy then this is a great way to troll or sit with your feet hanging off the side while your bum stays dry. Lovely while anchored bait casting or dropping bait deep. That hole in the hull is to hang a transducer I believe and mine actually sits tightly inside, hot-glued sealed, not leaking, huge difference. Slip a 1/2" or smaller diameter upvc hose around the bottom of the pod and hotweld the ends together but leave some breathing holes, when you drop in the pod the press hard down before clipping it in, it will seal and reduce the amount of water spilling in under the pod. I have seen guys closing the bottom of the pod opening with resin and fiber, for myself under your pod is where I have my live bait bag. I had a leaking hatch, the one on the stern bulkhead, the casing was cracked due to the bulkhead no being molded flush (yours seems to be way better than mine) and as you screw the hatch on it bends the casing back flush hence the cracks. I told them I would fix it myself, Feelfree delivered 2 new hatch assemblies with a rubber sealant. No issues since. The Johnny Bass is a good little boat, don't let those small imperfections get you down, Good luck to you.
I appreciate you taking the time to provide useful information . This comment will help tremendously for other people looking into purchasing the Jonny boat.
You're hot.
Excited for the journey Unc
Thanks Neph❤️
Can’t wait to see the next video.
Thanks for your support ❤️

Or the drive and steering from the kaku Zulu?
Great idea. Why not just go with Kaku Zulu as a whole instead spending all of your time and money modifying a Jonny bass 100?
Money. The Jonny boat is much cheaper. And I have an addiction of modifying things. That is an option though.
Great video sir! I’m VERY interested in this boat. Trying to figure out how to mount a pedal drive in/on it, with steering. The pivot drive from nucanoe? Something else? Let me know your thoughts please.
Thank you! Mounting a pedal drive in the location of the Jonny pod is possible with a little customization. Keep in mind, you will need to install a steering rudder system as well ( which would require customization). Also remember that the Jonny boat is used more as a boat with the ability to add a trolling motor and outboard. Using the Jonny boat as a "kayak" is possible but not ideal.
