Has anybody put a railing on their Jon Boat?

PoconoBoss · Feb 29, 2012

I'm picking up a Tracker 1542 Jon next month and I want to deck the front. My son likes the front of the boat and he will be fishing from the deck and I am nervous about him falling off so I plan on building a railing.

I was wondering if anybody else has done this and do they have pics?

Thanks,
Len

You could do a search for bowfishing boats. They have rails a lot of times just to get some ideas, if that is anything like what youre looking for.

Do you gig out of it or plan to? If so maybe having some sort of gigging rail fabricated by a local welding shop/boat shop would do the trick and serve a dual purpose? Just a thought.
