I did mine like that so I would have more room to stand and not have an obstacle to work around.

You should have no weight issues. I'm 200 lbs and my fishing partner is 270 and we fished on my 14 ft jon, fully decked out with gear and motors. Just like the other person stated, just dont lean to the same side at the same time lol. I think you will find it more stable than you expected...

I don't know how things work in your state, but in delaware, the vessel is required to have a blue card(registration) and the trailer is required to be titled. There is actually no title for the vessel at all. Either way, if the boat and trailer are properly registered and tagged with titles...

Man, will the snow ever stop lol. It always wants to wait until its close to march to be winter around here lol. How is your progress on the electric system? Fortunately, a fishing buddy of mine is a master electrician apparently, so I have been trading him haircuts for electrical work on my...

thanks for the replies guys, i apologize for taking so long on checking back for replies, I have had some internet issues. Anyway, I will check the motor out tomorrow and grab the serial number since I cant get to it right at this moment. I really appreciate the help!

I would say it basically comes down to need. If you dont need them right away, then order the ones from e trailer.com, if its urgent then get the ones from wally world. I have used them before with no problems. A spare tire can be a lifesaver for sure, so make sure you keep one or two on your...

I know the feeling, I live in delaware so I'm dealing with almost the same weather you are, however we have been getting lucky with the snowfall, but looks like that luck will be ending tomorrow night lol. I am in the middle of redoing another jon boat, and luckily have a single car garage to...

thank you for the reply, if you happen to do this anytime in the near future, please make like a tuturial video or something lol, maybe an exact part list of what you purchased and used. Thanks very much for the info though.

Hey man, I'm not an expert, but probably more like you in the fact that once I get to doing something I can pretty much figuret out. When it comes to your electronics, always use an inline fuse. I think they are normally 3 amp inline fuses, but it will keep your nice fishfinder from getting...

I have a 1996 Mercury 25hp electric and pull start motor. I would really like to convert it from a tiller over to a rack and pinion steering motor. I have been searching and searching, but am having trouble finding exactly what I am looking for. What I need is to know exactly what parts I...

If your looking for a project, do the jon boat conversion. The wider the better. Since you will be buying the triton, I would assume that you will be selling this one when you do that, so try and build it so that it appeals to more people than just yourself, unless you plan on keeping it. I...

as you can see i had the permanent seat posts that used the big seats, which I wish I hadnt used, but the other type were just too much added on to what I already spent, and the wife wasn't having it lol

Hey, I decked out my 1436 lowe jon boat last season. I was pretty impressed with the stability. Of course, your not on a nice sturdy fiberglass bass boat so the closer to center you are the more stable it will be, obviously. I also put a back deck on my boat. The biggest problem is when you...

A really cool, FREE App is GPS Essentials. It allows you to mark waypoints and is really customizable. There is a paid version, but its basically a donation to help with the running of it and its only a dollar and change I believe. I was going to use navionics, but I think it was taken off...

Got a late start this morning, so far I got all of the stickers off and got the boat washed and ready to be sanded down. I dont plan on going all the way to bare metal, but I wanna scuff it up pretty good. then I will wipe it all down and prime it. After reading up on this site, I think I...

Well, today is the day. I am going to get up in about 4 hours and start prepping the boat for paint. Depending on how smooth the prep goes, I am hoping to have everything done except maybe the clear coat by night time. I am not sure about drying times and how many coats of each paint I will...

Im not really sure, 100-150 lbs maybe?

yes sir, and they screwed the mess out of it to the bench seats, what a pain

Awesome, what color are you going with? Is topside a special marine or aluminum paint? I went rustoleum, just with the double coverage stuff, I guess it covers twice the amount as one can normally does, in a deep blue color. I am also using rustoleum primer and clear so they should all mesh...

Tonight I went out and bought the paint, primer and clear for the painting process. i decided to go with a deep blue color. Sunday morning I will power wash the inside and outside before I start the roughing up of the old paint. I am going with just basic rustoleum primer, paint and clear...
