Let’s see some Jon boats.

[chrmayo]

I'm wanting to get me a small Jon boat for fishing some backwater and small lakes around here. Let's see what y'all are using.

Let's see what y'all have.

As in "what's for sale" or "what we use"?

 

[chrmayo]

Use my bad.

I started out with this:

Ended up with this:

1448 Polarkraft that I put a 25hp Suzuki, Minnkota Edge, wood decks, wood floor, running lights and one small head light, bilge pump, and all wired into a 6 switch panal. It can take two people but it is almost always me and one to 3 dogs. I go just about any where. I have even been out on the main channel of KY lake a few time(when there was no wind and little boat traffic, lol).

I like that. That's what I'm needing.

Newbie here but here's my little 1436lt. Been looking at 1440 or 1442 ncs tho since kiddos are starting to get bigger

 

[RUGER]

Go ahead and bite the bullet and get a 42 or 48.
Good Lord willing I will never have to get in another 1436.

Just finished this one this week.

I've got a 1448 that I've never had on the water. It belonged to my uncle and I got it after he passed away. Had to put a new to me motor on it and plan was to use it for hunting Corp land a little bit but that hasn't happened.

 

[TiminTN]

I have a 1546 Triton, w/25 Yamaha 2007.

 

[casjoker]

1448 with 20hp four-stroke. Came with the trailer, trolling motor, and a 9.9 mercury that ran for $800. Repainted and cleaned it up, mostly used for duck hunting but catch a fish or two with it on occasion.

I've got a 1432 that's probably 50 years old. No idea on brand. I only use it on our duck hole and only paddle it then. It has extremely low sides and wouldn't be very safe except on very small, protect water.

 

[chrmayo]

I got me a little 1230 from a member here. It's just a little beater boat and I'll use it in some ponds and a little watershed out here by the house. Thinking about a nucanoe, kayak, or just a regular canoe also for small lakes and such.

Good looking setup. What's the details on it, if you don't mind?

Heck yes! My Tracker Topper is a 1436. It's my low water arrowhead hunting boat. Scares me every time I get in it. But it's more convenient then a kayak. If I had to do it over again, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have bought the 1436 but for the price I gave for it, I can't complain too much.

It's a 15/50 havoc dbst with a 50 tohatsu. Still working on getting more set up for fishing. Going to add a helix 7 as soon as I can.

Working on her now. Hopefully be ready in a couple weeks.

I like seeing these project boats. Keep us updated.
