Bought a Jon Boat...gonna try to mod it
Message:
Hey guys- I bought a Pelican 12x4ft plastic Jon Boat. Came with two oars, two seats, a 54 lb thrust trolling motor, and an Eagle fishfinder. Got it off craigslist...not a bad deal I didn't think.
Going to do a few things to her- Take out the 'astroturf' style carpet he has on the seats and use the bracing to add on a front deck platform to fish off of. Gonna put storage in this area as well. Thinking about putting a removable flooring in as well..but I'm concerned as to how much weight that might add.
Gonna have to take apart the seats and clean them up a bit.
You guys have any ideas for mods? Other comments??
I gotta post the pic in a minute...gotta resize it..thing was giant.

BGH , COOL, What did you name her??? :lol: If you do put a front deck on that I would maybe look into aluminum, it is much lighter than wood, if you make it out of wood becareful its not front heavy, they do sell a middle insert at cabelas that has a cooler, cupholders, you could possibly convert the cooler to a livewell, or maybe it has one, then you could fish some small lake tournys :D,
