Sorry for the scratchy audio in pieces of this!!
Boat length and width, trolling motor, recessed foot pedal, hatches, storage, graph, outboard, what I like and don't like, and everything else. One of my most requested videos is a jon boat walk through, so here it is! Hope you guys enjoyed, and if you have any other questions feel free to drop them down in the comment section below!
Would you guys like to see a jon boat tour of my buddies boats as well? I am thinking of doing a new jon boat every week or 2 and show you how others have their boats set up. Let me know if you'd like to see that!

Simple and effective...... can't get any better than that!!! It's a nice boat. Matt done an absolutely fabulous job with the decks, compartments -- and fab (brackets/buckets). A tremendous amount of work in short time --- able to do it due to knowledge and expertise (evident)!!! And for other vids of jon boats....... absolutely!!! That'd give so many different ideas for when they're able to modify theirs (or when they get it)!!!

Empty all of your gear out. Put a 1/4" of water or so in the boat then get underneath and wait to find the drip. Put a mark next to the hole and bilge the boat out dry it up and patch the hole. Probably a 3 hour free fix..

I love seeing these small boat builds, been browsing KZfaq for ideas. I'm working on a old 14' Crestliner Super Seaman. I've got the front deck and floor cut out and I'll be working on the rear seat/deck and framing soon. I've got a 9hp Mercury but plan on a 20 eventually.

Hey Matt Love your boat. I had a tracker topper 1542 but had to sell it because I had no place to store it anymore. My next one will be like yours for sure because my 1542 just wasn’t quite wide enough or stable for my liking. And yes I would like to see more Jon boat tours that you asked about. Thanks a lot

Great video Matt! This hits home for me. I have a Tracker Grizzly 1448. 20HP Merc. and an MK Terrova 80lb with iPilot (GPS in the head unit). The stability is much like that Lowe and I love that about it. Get about 22-23mph by myself, maybe 20 with another angler. Jon boats are the business dollar for dollar.

@Matthew4Nineteen 4 жыл бұрын

I have an Alumacraft 1442 that is super stable also, from the factory it came with a front deck instead of a center seat. I've had it since 2008 and I haven't upgraded because I haven't found anything I honestly like better for getting into skinny water. Nice built, if you're ever in Wisconsin I'll get you on the monster smallmouth bass.

With the boat on the trailer, fill up the boat with water right above the riveted area. look around to see there are leaks and seal those area. Mines has leaks and after doing that, I sealed all the cracks and now its leak-free.

@eddieluvski4499 5 жыл бұрын

Nice! Gets the job done for sure for 90% of the water out there. Only bigger waters that get windy on a regular may be an issue. Curious question-- as with your boat, and the Pro's I watch on TV, the trend seems to be no seats to fish from. Maybe I am old school. I dont mind standing and fishing for long periods, but i also enjoy sitting on my butt and swiveling around to cast to spots. Why dont you have seats? To save room maybe??😋👍🎣🎣

I have a 1448 tracker grizzly all welded with a 25 hp E- Tec. She will do 27 to 28 mph with another guy as fat as me aboard. I never had the boat alone, but I'm sure top speed would be over 30mph. I run a helix 7 electronics and a 55 HP Minnkota trolling motor. I wish I had a recessed area for me pedal. Etec has a giant alternator so I run one giant interstate Gmat battery easily runs all day only down 20% by end of the day fishing !

Now THIS is a rational, normal build I would like! Some of the other builders on here are way "over the top". Heck, I can pick up a used real bass boat around 4k most days on Craigslist, why build a job boat with 25 compartments and all that then? Besides, I like simple and this makes 100% sense to me. Congrats. Oh yeah, I boat fish from a coleman crawdad. 11 ft / 42" wide bottom. .. much more stable than a 14/36!! ... if I buy another job boat before I buy a real bass boat, it will be a 14/48 or a 15/60. Width does make all the difference!
