After thinking about it for a while, I have decided to start a group on Facebook called "South Jersey Jon Boat Fishing". It's open to anyone who owns, or fishes mostly from a jon boat on any of southern New Jersey's waters. Salt water and sweet water, from the Delaware River to the shore, and...

Well as in the above post, I'm to the point where I wanted to just remove the livewell all together. I'm going to look for a bent seat post first. There is a rib about 2 inches from the front of the bench, and another about a foot and a half or so in front of that one. How would I mount it...

I have a 14 footer. My boat has a minn kota 55 lb bow mount and a 55 lb transom mount motor. I would like to carry along two batteries in the back. I also have a Garmin fishfinder I would like to install also. What do you suggest I do? My brother said that he could handle running it and...

okay, so here is my problem. I installed a seat mount with swivel to my back bench on my 2009 g3 1448 with no problem. Now when it comes to the front bench, there is a problem. In the center of the front bench, there is a gravity fed livewell. Now, how am I supossed to install a permanent seat...

im installing my new minn kota 55lb powerdrive to my g3 1449. in the manual that came with it. it states that o have to mount it as close to the center line as i can. why dont i see many people with it in the exact center of the boat. its usually on one side or the other. please let me know...

I just bought a garmin fishfinder. It came with the dual beam transducer. Now, I was wondering, since the deepest lakes go in south jersey, they might only get to be like 15 feet deep. If I use the dual beam features, does it matter where I place it on my boat? By the way, I have a minn kota...

Here is a good pic of the seat mount, which is very sturdy. https://www.geocities.com/mallyrotten/mallyg3seatpostandmountwood.JPG

heres another

sorry, im uploading the pics now. as for selftapping screws, i opted for this way for extra support. g3 expects a seatpost to be installed, because when i we cut through the top, our measurements were accurate. we knew this because there is a wood plate under the aluminum with a hole already in...

Installation if a swivel seat mount and post required cutting a hole in the direct center of the back bench. In order to secure the mount, you will have to cut an access panel in the back of the bench, and remove some foam. I got this mount and swivel from walmart. next installation will be a...

:?: :?: I have a 14ft G3 and I purchased a minn kota traxxis 55lb transom tiller. Great motor. I'm also going to buy a new Minn Kota PowerDrive 55lb bow mount motor next week after I install my front pedestal seat. I bought this boat knowing I was getting a bow mount motor, but never really...

I saw a post yesterday that got me thinking about my boat. I have a G3 1448 and down the sides from stern to bow is an inward line about 3" or more tall and there are ribs going up the sides. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PIC TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT...

Redbug, hey man, you're in good company. I'm a 300lber myself, that's why I bought such a wide boat 48". I've never felt so safe standing up and walking around a jon boat before! I don't trust just screws either. My father has some sort of a special pneumatic rivet tool for such an occassion...

I bought a seat pedestal mount and swivel post from wal mart. How am I supossed to mount this from the bottom if my back bench in my G3 goes all the way to the floor and is filled with foam? What are my options at this point. I would also like to install a pedestal seat up front, but because of...

that ain't makin it through the pads

Okay, I just bought this boat that has one of these. How well do they work? I guess I'm gonna have to run an aerator to it. During the course of a day, does that water replentish itself during travel on water? It's a decent size. Can hold a good amount of minnows, maybe a lunker. Here's a...

Thanks for the quick reply Russ! I'm new to the site. I'm all over BassBarn and never heard of this site. So, if I get that bracket, I just screw THAT to my stock aluminum deck? or do I still have to add the plywood? I talked to the guys at G3, and they said the only accessory they make for...

I'm brand new to bow mounted trolling motors, the new boat I just bought being my first to ever be able to hold one. My boat is a 2009 G3 1448. The front of the boat is aluminum decking that's 53" X 27" 1/2 X 46" 1/2. Now to install a bow mounted motor, I'm going to have to secure a plywood...

What is the best wiring kit for a 1448 jonboat? I have a new g3 and have no idea where to begin.

Here's the only pic I have at the moment. I'll be out there takin more once the sun comes up. This pic is of my livewell. How would you hook up a pump in this? I never saw a livewell like this. It has a standing tube that fits into a rubber plug and sticks in a hole in the bottom of the...
