I just bought a 1987 Lowe 14 Delta jon boat last week for $100. I already have a homebuilt (not by me) trailer to put it on, and a 6.5 hp mudmotor. My mudmotor is getting upgraded to a 15 hp in the spring. My plan for the boat is to get it stripped down of the old paint, cleaned up, repainted and then some storage built in that can be lockable for my gear. Since it is a duck boat, and it will be constantly in the marshy mud or river...I don't plan on flooring it, or adding much decking. I will be making a custom duck blind for the boat, along with a small deck for the duck dog possibly.
I'll add pictures tomorrow - of the initial views of the boat. Then I'll take pictures along the way to show my progress.
I've read probably a hundred or so of the other mods here, and was pretty excited to finally grab a jon boat worth modding. I am okay with woodwork, and so-so with welding, so I hope to build something that doesn't look too ugly to post here
I don't have a huge budget to work with, but I also don't want to add too much weight to the boat either. So, I'm pretty much torn on wood/aluminum storage. I'll also upload some drawings/powerpoint type of what I'd like to do to the boat. With this picture, you all may have some great ideas for me.
