Hi Folks,
I want to make a one man jon boat.
I have a 1448 Lowe on a trailer already that I use for bigger water. Now I want a boat just for pond fishing with electric motor only. I am looking at Alumacraft 1036. I am thinking about removing the center seat and putting in a pedistal seat just ahead of the back bench seat for better balance while fishing by myself. Anybody had any experience doing this themselves? A friend suggested I should just get a bass hunter pontoon style boat then I can move seat where ever I want for balance, but I have always been a jon boat man. Any suggestions? Will removing seat mess up the integrity of the hull? Anybody done something like this and have pictures? Thanks
