My custom Jon Boat Modification Project

See this video with full audio at http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1906349/6316585

This is a video that shows the modifications I made to my 1977 Sea King Jon Boat. The motor is a 5 HP Air Cooled Briggs & Stratton. Total project took about 6 days of work and quite a few beers.

You can read a detailed write up on the project at....

Damn vid... made me reconsider getting the vhull. Had a question... is boat as rough as they say on lakes that's the thing stopping from getting the jon boat.

just materials, without jon boat and motors and such, how much did the materials cost ie. carpet, wood, metal

[kevininspects]

Nice...have done a little, but gives me good ideas...just worry about the added weight. part of the allure of the jon boat is the light weight....still....well done!
