Anyone ever DIY in your jon boat? What tools needed, what materials needed and how much?

Gotmuddy, Thanks for the info, I will let you know next time I am headed that way. Still have a lot to do to my little boat,(perforated aluminum floor, seats, buddy bearing for trailers-odd size, live well, trolling motor, etc). I was wondering how good the fishing/boating would be if I...

Thanks everyone for the helpful info, looks like I will be bringing the boat home from MO in the next week and giving the White a try. I have fished it from the bank and been guided a couple times in the past and cant wait to try it on my own. Does anyone know where you can get those aluminum...

Anyone have any experience with their aluminum river jet jon on the White River. I have been on it in one of those fiberglass jon boats and see them everywhere (Supreme, Shawnee, Topwater) Not sure the reason or why I dont see as many aluminum. If mine is able to run up and down the Sac, Big...

:D Hoping to run a couple tanks this week. Now if I could just catch some fish, I would be set.

Thanks for all the suggestions and tips, I think I have narrowed it down to some junk in the old plastic tank. When I emptied the old gas it seemed clean and not discolored, so I filled in with prem gas, oil and a can of seafoam. One time when the motor quit and the squeeze ball deflated, I...

After thinking about all week, I think the old plastic gas tank probably needed a good cleaning before I used it. I emptied it and the gas looked fine, no sediments or discoloration and just filled it with prem, oil and a can of sea foam. It did appear after it would shut down and I removed...

A couple of questions for those that may have experience, the manual suggest 5/16, but I installed a 3/8. Having problem on start up and not getting enough fuel, I dont want to spend the money and replace with a 5/16 if not needed. Also wondering if an in-line fuel filter would be a good idea...

After replacing fuel hose/bulb assembly and spark plugs I took the boat out for its maiden voyage. Still having issues with starting and it stalls after a lengthy run, bulb depresses and I think it maybe my fuel hose as I replaced with a 3/8 instead of 5/16. Does anyone know if this would cause...

Thanks for the replies, I am originally from MO but currently live in NW ARK during the week and spend the weekends up in Stockton MO. I inherited this rig and its very basic but I think with a little time I can improve it to meet my needs. I plan on using it for fishing brownines on the King...

I live in Northwest AR and am needing some advice on improving 18 ft riveted Landau Jon with 20 hp Johnson Jet I inherited. Its basic, back bench seat and would like to add seats and perforated alum flooring. Does not have to be real nice, just functional and not too expensive. Any suggestions...

Just wanted to introduce myself, I am new to the forum, but have been on here reading alot. I just came into a 1644 alweld and Johnson 25 jet tiller. I am not able to find much information on the internet in regards to the motor and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it and could...
