Flip My Jon Boat

Flip My Jon Boat

The FLIP MY JON BOAT channel delivers entertaining and informative programming that showcases the renovation - FROM START TO FINISH - of an old, nasty, $125, 14-foot Lundau aluminum Jon boat found on Craigslist. Each do-it-yourself step of the process is filmed in my backyard. You'll follow the boat's transformation to a watercraft that looks and works like a high-end bass boat. This channel is devoted to honoring a growing lifestyle on lakes, ponds, & rivers across America - The Tiny Boat Nation!

Each video will hook you in to the content spotlighted for that episode and transition into an informative tutorial about each step of renovating - or flipping - your Jon boat into a custom fishing watercraft. Each episode will wrap up with a "project cost" segment to give an approximate cost of that step of the renovation.

Like and subscribe to FLIP MY JON BOAT to follow a DIY how-to for your own Jon boat to bass boat flip even in your BACKYARD! Follow me on Instagram for more content.

    Wouldn't staples penetrate the epoxy and damage the waterproof seal on the wood?

    I used OD green aluminum siding paint purchase from home Depot and a brush turned out good enough and it was a lot cheaper and the stuff has been on there for 4 years so it's not coming off anytime soon it doesn't really scratch too much

    What about glueing the eva directly over the hull without the plywood? Just placing EVA sections between ribs?

    You have any idea why everytime I roll my carpet around the corners the carpet pops up. I see everyone on KZread never having issues. I literally have to carpet the front and wait a day for the glue to set up so I can roll the carpet around the corners

    How much would you say one of these John boats, freshly painted would sell for? I got a 12ft aluminum boat that I no longer need. I’m thinking of giving it a nice paint job and selling it.

    Are you running 6awg wire from the on/off switch to the fuse box? Surely a single 14awg wire cannot support the entire fuse box, or can it?

    Greetings fellow Georgian!🙂 Thanks for the video. What's an alternative to stapling the carpet ends if the material is fiber-glassed gel coated laminated plastic honeycomb panels? Is the carpet glue my only option or is actually rubber cement? I know staples will not hold inside this material. I'm concerned with the carpet holding around the 90 degree semi-hollow edges of this material.

    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.

    I know you posted this a year ago but I want to be clear. You ran 6 gauge from the battery to your kill switch then 14 gauge from the kill switch to the fuse box and then from there to the switch panel and then to the accessories? Just 6 and 14 gauges were used?
