NEED a little input 12ft Jon Booat

[fishingTime]

Ok i just got a 12 ft jon boat and there are some leaking rivets. So i have started to replace then with a size bigger. But anyway i would love to see some 12 ft mods and the design they used or if anyone has input on i have looked at lot so far still don't know what i to do yet i know want a live well and trolling motor up on the bow should i use a gas motor in the back ??? where should live well go up front on middle or back also battery's up front or back and what is a good way for hatch doors to open ? i was thinking about like when it is sitting on the trailer i could open them and load my gear. I know this info is on the site but omg reading though it all would take so so long. Hope some people see this and give me a info also some pics of what i working with a front deck framing idea

You can use the search feature for your model of boat. There are a ton of mods on boats like your. My advise would be to fix all the leaks first and keep the mods as light as possible. Those little 12' can be quite tippy if you overload them with mods. I would keep the battery forward and try not to put too much weight back into the boat. Have fun and ask questions. :WELCOME:

The best thing you can do is use the Search


The best thing for you to do is use the "Search" function and type in anything you want to look up. I did one for you with "1232 mod" and I think there were 39 posts on that one alone.

Hopefully that will get you started.

Here's another one titled ''1232'' and it has 659 posted. Have fun going through all of them. Take good notes because there will be a test on it later!
