Just wanted to introduce myself and the boat. I do not do much hunting or fishing so I've found myself looking for like minded jon boaters and they seem to be few and far between. To add, I can't find a single boat like mine anywhere on the web so I've kind of had to dream up my own ideas or look at other hulls for inspiration.
Anyways, I'm a gear head with a slight speed addiction and I love exploring and looking for nice water and wildlife. Enough about me. No one wants to read this much from a new guy so here's some pics of my setup. Not much at the moment, but I have a few plans. The first will be an upgrade to a 3 cylinder powerplant. Most likely another Yamaha.
It is an Alabama built Rhino Wide Jon. .125" thick, two "stump knockers" run long ways across the bottom and inside for reinforcement, other than that no stringers, just sheet aluminum welded all the way with the two benches. The hull weighs 360 pounds bare.
Looking forward to talking with other tin boaters and seeing what you guys have going on. Thanks for looking.
