1991 Alumacraft Crappie Jon
My Dad was given this boat about 2-3 years ago and never did anything with it. The original owner bought it brand new and used it with a trolling motor only in a private pond. Well dad gave the boat to me to have with the stipulation if I ever decide to get rid of it he gets it back. I am currently overhauling the boat and was curious if anyone else still uses this model. Some of the ideas I wanna do are proving a lil more tricky than I had originally thought they would.

I have a Crappie Jon. Only used it twice (usually take the big boat out). Its fun on small lakes. What kind of work are you doing to it or wanting to do to it?

I will check on tinboats.com.
I am currently getting ready to wire bow and stern lights. Also thought about adding led lights to the inside edge to light the interior for night fishing. However the lip on the inside edge of the boat isn't enought to hide the led strips. So I'm currently trying to figure a way to hide the strips and still have beneficial lighting from them. I have all the flooring pulled out to help with running wires. Gonna replace the styro in the floor cause the original is heavily waterlogged. Gonna paint the boat od green and prolly put hydroturf in the floor instead of carpet. Gonna due your typical depth finder situation as well. Basically just making the boat mine I reckon. Thought maybe someone had some other ideas that they had done to theirs already.

I found it. Thanks for making sure tho. I still haven't found many people with an opinion or even owning these models. But I guess that makes mine a lil more special to me. LolOriginally Posted by Scrapper

Would love to see some pics of it. I don't guess I've ever seen one. I figure that its much like the other projects on tinboats....they are all different...but similar at the same time. Just really depends on how much $$$$ and time you want to put into it. The sky is really the limit.

Finally getting some pics uploaded
Sorry for so many photos
This is how I initially received the boat:
Then I found a trailer:
My son had fun playing after I got the trailer painted and the boat on it:
Next I drilled out the rivets and pulled the floor out to replace the waterlogged styrofoam:

Great project!! Your doing a great job, and doing it right!! If thats the foam insulation board you used, you'll be glad you did. You'll have alot less trouble with that stuff, than some say the spray in kind. That boy is trying to tell you something in a couple of the pics...DAD...I'm ready to go fishing!!! lol.
Great job!
