    Default Jon Boat Mod


    Yes, I am crazy. Started another project. I'm almost as project crazy as Rojo, but I don't think I'll ever catch up to that mans project energy level, not sure anyone can. My FIL comes close. Anyway, take a look see...

    Good project idea. I hope it surpasses your vision for it in every way.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Right on the Money Sir Jack!, keeps you thinking you're young anyway. That Canopy Cover I replaced last week still has the joints pinching a bit. I think everyone should have a Crappie Jon Boat I know I catch a scary amount of fish out of mine. I'm going to watch the video on the big screen this morning.

    Ed you’re getting boats like I have kayaks for my family…lol. Love the idea of the Jon boat. Sorta gonna be like a large kayak. The plan on the wheels is just like the landing gear on my kayak. I will say even though mounted near the center it still gets pretty heavy at times. Especially pulling up a ramp. Awesome idea.

    I think that you should (rethink) the idea.
    If your determined to launch at that spot, why not just launch it and then drag it back out when finished and just flip it over?
    Anyway launching is only one part of the whole equaission.
    You still need to be able to get in and out of the thing.
    And for that a Kayack or a canoe would be a better choice.
    Consider launching from your seawall, maybe install a roller on top of it.
    Getting in and out of it might be easier.
    Thanks Slab thanked you for this post

    Yobuck got me to thinking. And when that happens we're all in trouble, right! lol

    Anywho, I thought maybe I did need a better way to get in and out the old Jon Boat. So lookie what I built off my sea wall:
