Just stumbled upon your video and really enjoyed it. I used to have a Jon Boat growing up in Florida and now that I'm back, I want another one! I used to see those long tailed motors running up and down the canals of Bangkok, Thailand back in the 1970's but they used engines out of Toyotas; I never knew they caught on here. Great job!

That color is perfect! It makes me want to paint mine whether it needs it or not. It all worked out great. Nice refresh.

Cool! Awesome boat for duck hunting, fishing, or whatever! Thanks for sharing!

This was so fun to watch! It’s definitely inspired me to do a project like that. Thank y’all and God bless!

Awesome video! Paint job turned out nice and the rip thru the marsh at the end was even better

Sweet job on the boat and the video! Keep ‘em coming!

Turned out bad ass. Thanks for sharing

That’s awesome. Any chance you could add links to the lights, wiring and speakers?

I have that motor motor on a Mud Skipper Twister and really like it on my 1436 Lone Star. I know that you have a surface drive now and I wanted a surface drive but can't afford it. The Twister has a shorter shaft and I have almost the same angle as a surface drive, which is very close to an outboard. People worry about that flexible shaft and they send a spare with it, which kind of made me worry. But I've throttled the hell out of it with no problems, so far. I grease it every time I load it on my trailer though and I got rid of that three bladed prop before I even mounted it on the boat. I need to pop over to the video about your surface drive and ask where you bought the kit from. I love my little mud boat and do all of my fishing from it. Oh, I used Gator Glide on mine too. That stuff is amazing!

You seem to be a jack of all trades. Well done and have fun! 👏😎

Dude that boat is amazing ! Great job with the restoration man. Question what is the brand name of that boat and where could I find one like that? I love what you did with the speakers and everything man. Thanks for any advice

Bad Ass boat!! I’m very motivated now to do something very similar to your outstanding project, congratulations man. You’ve earned a subscriber!

Nice work, I have a project Jon to do and like the camo so will try it out. Enjoy your hard work !!!

Well done little brothers! Awesome build! Thanks for the ride aloha

Tip if you want wood to last in a boat???? coat it with epoxy resin a few times. It will do 2 things. Absorb the epoxy making the wood more structural and water proof. . Your wood will last a crazy long time.

Nice work bud!! Looks grt!

Nice build what speakers did you end up using? Also how much fun time you get in the speakers

Awesome job on the boat, love it

Good work man , i Love this setup !! Jon boats aren't big in Australia

This is a really awesome build!

Paint job came out nice! Sick jon boat!

This is the perfect huntin boat good job man

Good job dude looks good . I’m getting a used 1542 today

Sick build! Just curious what do you do for a living?

What screws/bolts/taps etc did you use to screw the wood that the grab bar is mounted on to the ribs on the boat? And did it hold good or break loose

I’m glad I seen this I’m gonna build my job boat like yours 🔥🔥

You did a awesome job, I know what iam going to do now. What are you using to power everything?

Just got recommended to your video we'll see how it goes hoping for the best😎

Very nice wiring job.

I really like the motor set up for you think it would be good in a lake set up

Keep up the good videos

Awsome build! Do you happen to have a build list and links to the stuff you used? Thanks!

That looks and runs great!

Nice find and build.

Any way you can tell me exactly what stencil kit you got? I really like the way yours turned out.

Damn son. Sharp boat.

Tree bark goes up not sideways but it still looks good

How did you prep the surface for the paint for the boat and the gator glide for underneath the boat?

Could you please tell me what light bar you used? It looks like you just drilled straight through the bow rail and it'd help to know what length it is even.

What components for the speakers did you use or was it just a kit from boss?

great video. aren't the nav lights suppose to be visible from the side?

For the gator glide can you use that on pirouge i have a 12ft aluminum also? and if so which one should i use? and where did you find the stencils at?

How many batteries are you using to power the LED light bar and speakers? I'm in the middle of building my boat and not sure on battery for a stereo/speaker and trolling motor

Nice job young man

Love It I Have The Same Boat I Want To Build Mine The Same Way 😂😂😂

Is that a Duracraft? JW, great content btw!

does bro not know that he just made one of the cleanest john boats i ever seen 🤐😍

I wonder what the fish think about the music you be playing while out and about :D

Hell yeah dude 🤘🏼

You should make a list of everything you used.

hey man was their foam where you cut out for all the stuff to go? i have foam in mine but i wanna cut out the middle and put hinges and boards like you did to have places to put everything

when you say you grinded on the bottom what did you use? and what did you use to sand? did you use gator base or just the glide? thanks

Is that a 1436? Just curious cause I’m looking to buy one and I’m scared a 36 wont be wide enough. Also what size long tail was on it? I know it has a surface drive now but curious about the old one

Looking back would you have painted the hulll first before the bottom?

No need to waste a rocker panel switch for a stereo that already has its own power switch. Wire it straight to power and run a inline fuse for protection. Good work btw. I built my own Jon boat as well.

Very impressive for a young man

What color paint did you use from sea hawk??

Clean

Where did you get the stencil for the boat? Looks good.

what sound system did you use bro ?

When you pour out of a jug. Turn the jug 180 degrees and pour out of the side. You will have better control and won’t have the glue glug glug thing going on and it won’t splash splash splash. Also add a small painting pole to your roller then you can roll with two hands and your wrists won’t hurt. Try it you’ll like it! I’m redoing an old Lowe deep “V” Thanks for the lesson’ I subscribed and liked

Boat is amazing! but taking that foam out is risky

With those predator motors man they can’t be turned on there side long. Oil will come threw the valve cover vent tube and leak into the carb. I’ve had a go devil crawfish model that’s done this multiple times.

Can you put a surface drive on any boat or does it have to be certain types of John boats??

Very nice

I’ve heard some people say that you loose buoyancy if you take the foam out of those seats. Then others say it isn’t true at all.

What motor and setup is this and where can I find one?

What did you use to cut out the holes ans storage?

Verry cool, is this a 12 foot, looking to buy one

You should put a sea-Doo jet driving in it make a jet John lol that would be awesome

If you take a lighter the end of the looms it’ll get rid of the frays and help keep it in good shape

How’d the paint on the outside hold up I just did mine and seems so come off very easily

Enjoyed the video. The camo running end to end instead of up and down is a little confusing???

So what is the motor that you are using for your John boat?

Hey bro where did you buy the GATOR GLIDE from

Where did you find that gator glide stuff at? I have a 12ft flat bottom and I never knew I needed that until I saw this video

where did you get the stencils for the camo?

What does the gator glide do ?

Where did you get the 4 switch panel Thx

I think anyone would be happy to have that boat I think you did a very good job pat yourself on the back if that boat started out at 800 I think you'll get at least three grand for it now

Where'd the grab bar come from?

Where did you get the stencil from?

How wide is the floor?

And then I palm trees 🌴 love hearing other people listening to Flatbush

Where did you get the grab bar.

That’s a bad little boat brother!

Where did you get those stencils?

what size wire loom did you use ??

Did you find that boat in the woods

is that 2 different stinsle kits ? round looking camo, and the line looking camo? what are the names of the camo?

How many cans of spray paint did it take

Can some one pls link the grab bar he used?! Can’t find one like it anywhere

I subscribed... o_o

How is the paint holding up? I’m looking at that brand of paint and want to see the durability before i order,

Ever thought about putting links in the bio? Sure would keep you from having to repeat yourself.🤣🤣

Jason Mewes minus the city and hard drugs.

That boat needs a Mercury 25, it'll fly with something like that!

How wide is the boat

How fast does that go

Teeth on bendex drive caught on flywheel ? Let's see that speed boat rip with new prop
