Dude, I had a Lowe 1448 Jon w a 40hp yam 2-stroke. Decked bow and stern, poling platform, more. One of the best creek fishing boats I've ever had. Poles like a dream with one hand. Had it all around the harbor and creeks in Charleston. Hard to kill a Jon boat. Great for dropping anchors or cast nets, etc. Even had a duck hunting blind for it. Gigged out of it, fly fish in the grass, spin fish anywhere, shrimping, oystering, and more.
Appreciate the kind words Brett! Definitely worth taking some time off to be able to creep in the shallows! We were up there a few weeks ago in Nags head was gonna hit ya up but we never made it down to Buxton. Looking for some surf reds on fly 🤘🏻keep slaying brudda
@@FishandsurfChs Hit me up next time you're around! I fish all over the Island, so meeting up in Pea Island or something is a breeze. But if you want Drum in the surf... this fall is gonna be the ticket. they are thick as can be in the sound right now.
Got a 1448 g3 and have fished out of it for 10 yrs. man I can drive this thing up a tree. Mostly fly fish in Beaufort SC. My balls are pancake shaped cause I take this thing out in 20mph winds 😯 Gotta love the jon boats. Love what you did with yours. Thanks!
I realize this is an older video and hopefully you still keep up with the comments, but I'm interested in how you built the poling platform. Or, if you didn't build it yourself, where did you buy it? Thanks!
🤔🤔🤔... I thought that I had the same problem... Then I went to Home Depot... Bought: 4 ... galvanized fencing pipe... 4... corners... 2... heavy duty gate hindges Heavy duty Gate latch... 2... bags of Qwickset Concrete I then picked my spot between 2 existing solid healthy posts... re-enforced them with the galvanized poles set in concrete. Once dried... I added another hundred or so nails with the nailer to the pickets to reinforce them... then simply cut out that panel... laid on ground... then built a metal "gate" on top of the panel using the 4 corners strapping/ screwing it down to the 2x4s on the panel. Since my panels are so wide... I then added a "trailer-jack". Works great...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Now have 2 boats in the backyard under carports that I built. Been running underground power back there...(75ft) for the batteries because I'm tired of dragging 150ft of extention cords...!!! You can do it... too...!!! 🙂😉👍🏾
FYI, lockwashers don't work, and can even make bolts more likely to come loose. Apparently they're holding up, but it'd be more secure if you took 'em out. Use locktite if you care, red is forever, blue is removable.
Just came across your channel from your Facebook post on Low county Kayak Anglers. Been looking for a mission specific, inexpensive boat. This may be the one. Appreciate you sharing with us man.
Just picked up a Max Gain Systems push pole kit. Did you water proof the inside of yours with polyurethane? Wasn’t sure if it was crucial. I came across it quite a bit when I was doing my research-wanted to see your thoughts before I epoxy this thing up
I fish out of a Starcraft 16 ft. Aluminum V. Center console ( homemade ) 40 Johnson. Fished out of Jon boats for 40 plus years. Keep it simple ...don’t need 60K boat . Set the hook brother
Fishing & Surfing Charleston, SC yes sir, dampens sound and just makes it more comfy. Easy to clean too! Comes on a roll at the TSC cut to your size needs and is pretty cheap.
Saw this video and this boat is the perfect set up, my question would be is an aluminum boat easier to pole than a heavier fiberglass boat ? How does an aluminum boat hold up in saltwater , and how much did your poling platform cost ?
So I’ll try to answer these in order. Yes the aluminum is way easier than a fiberglass boat because it’s a completely flat bottom and way lighter. Aluminum holds up fine in the salt water as long as it’s rinsed off and cleaned. Unfortunately all hardware suffers holding the boat together so I am slowly converting it to stainless. The poling platform was done by a family friend so the price really isn’t relevant because it was way lower than normal.
I realize this video is pretty old, but where did you find those stacks that you used under your trolling motor? Having a hard time finding them online.
Awesome boat. I'm currently working from a kayak, but I'm hoping to someday invest in a motorized contraption. This broadens my horizon beyond Gheenoe. Thanks!
Fishing & Surfing Charleston, SC That Bote looks pretty cool too. I’ve not seen those before. It kind of has a Solo Skiff vibe. Thanks for the recommendation! Really enjoying your channel-especially the redfish content!
After every single trip. My dad always raised us to clean the boat real well after boating in the marsh around here! thanks for the watch my man, follow along!
I’m around the same area where Are you launching out of ?? I’m wanting to pull the a Boat with a AWD wagon too ……. Some of the ramps make me nervous with how slippery and steep they are
I got the 1448 same motor tiller give me a little bit more room extension tiller and grab bar dopest boat I ever had trolling motor and welded Mount up front all weld I like the fact that I could stand and sit in the middle of the boat as well like a centerpiece you got a dope boat that's what's up
Sweet. I have a Lowe 16 ft modified V, riveted n welded Jon boat also. Love the thing more than any other boat I've ever owned. Glad also to hear you talk about all the bs people try and sell you. It's nonstop until you've done so much mods yourself people run out of things to offer you. Lol I build everything myself from deck, hatches, mini tower, etc every single thing that wasn't factory in 88' I've hand built myself. Worth buying a decent welder for aluminum especially for transom replacement etc. Some times need weld rivets just won't work but I didn't use rivets where I can get away with it. I'm also redoing my trailer atm the back brace is rusty n sagging a little so cutting it out and welding in a new brace, new leaf springs, and new solid axle to go with new tires and repainted trailer wheels. Would cost me more than the cost to buy a welder new and supplies vs buying a new trailer or bringing somewhere to fix it for me. Defanetly worth the investment for future and aluminum boats are the way to go over heavy fiberglass (unless going offshore).
They are just so easily customizable. And manageable at that. Thank god for tig welding! I think it’s possible to save money on trailer work but I see the possibility of just cutting losses and buying one new. Thanks for the interest man, stay fishing tight lines🤘🏻
@@FishandsurfChs I hear on some trailers but mine is galvanized and the only reason the back brace is shot is because some ahole hit it years ago and compromised the galvanizing on that rear brace. So over time rusted but besides needing that brace replaced and adding new u joints leaf springs etc is cheap. New trailer would cost me way more and someone would just fix this one and sell it. Since my boat weighs less than 600lbs loaded doesn't need a huge trailer. Will cost me couple hours of my time and probably $200 and trailer will be like new for next 5 years. My grandfather bought this Lowe new in 88' and we have already replaced everything a couple times over the decades of use it's given us. Unfortunately gramps passed away couple years ago so just me working on it these days. My son will take to it he lives boats n fishing but he's only 10 so the building repair parts are still too boring for him. In couple years he will pick up building/repairing things I'm sure. Also aluminum is so much easier to clean and maintain compared to fiberglass not to mention 6 gallons of fuel keeps me going all day/night with my 2 stroke 25hp and no fiberglass boats have a 6" draft and sip fuel (fuel doesn't seem like big deal but if your a daily sportsman it adds up quick) Tight rivets and tight lines✌🏼
Where can one buy a tower platform like the one you have on there? I read you said a family friend helped build it but any ideas where I could find one just like that to put on my aluminum boat? Or if your friend sells that kind of service themselves?
Rarely have the trolling motor active when I fly fish. I de-mount and stow it so we can pole. If I’m solo I launch the minnkota and generally it is out of the way. It’s not perfect but I strip line behind me into the floor board and stand a little further back. Sometimes my laundry basket makes things even easier but I don’t mind the motor to the left
Do you mind sharing who it was in Georgetown that made and installed your poling platform? I found a deal on 16ft Aluma Craft and would love to have a sweet setup like yours.
Not too shabby. Thanks for the candidness. I am looking to start doing some shallow fishing around the Galveston Bay complex and I'm looking for a cheap route to get started.
what I have invested in it and what everyone pays are two different things. All items are searchable on google. boat, motor, poling platform, pole, and trolling motor are the basics. Its an under 10k micro skiff
you have lots of potential with youtube in my opinion dont stop the videos btw have you ever had problems spooking fish since the boat is aluminum? im 17 and looking to get into fly fishing around hhi. thinking about getting a jon boat like this or a kayak!
I ppreciatte the kind words dude. And no not any more spooking than any other water craft. Have you ever tried paddleboard fishing? Watch my belly crawler video (most recent before this one) I explain why I love paddleboard fishing more than boat or kayak
@@FishandsurfChs my family is in Georgetown area and I'm trying to get a poling platform myself. Do you mind sharing the name of the people who made it?
Sweet boat, I'm trying to find a somewhat cheaper poling platform for my jon boat too. Can you message me on how much it was/where you specifically got it made?
This was a personal friend who did a one time job. I’ve been told to not share his contact bc he dosnt do this full time. There are tons of bolt on platforms available online and at your local boat dealer
@@FishandsurfChs LOL! I agree the other sides of the cut are fine but if he don't know how rough that tide can get going through there he's going to be on one hell of a roller coaster ride. That is if he makes it through. Awesome boat by the way!

@@FishandsurfChswho built it? I need one just like it
I definitely want to build something very similar to this. The only problem would be getting it to fit in my backyard

4 ... galvanized fencing pipe...
4... corners...
2... heavy duty gate hindges
Heavy duty Gate latch...
2... bags of Qwickset Concrete
I then picked my spot between 2 existing solid healthy posts... re-enforced them with the galvanized poles set in concrete.

I’m wanting a jon just because I can keep it for a lifetime without much restoring since fiberglass and wood will eventually deteriorate.
Exactly. Not a bad plan

Do you use count counterweight in the bow when you’re on the poling platform?
How do you find your boat poling / tracking from your poling platform ( nice Jon )

@@FishandsurfChs I gotcha, I'm in Columbia and am frequently down in Charleston. Picked up a Havoc 1656 last week and was wondering the best ramp to put in. I was thinking Remley's.
Remleys is where I grew up. Lots of traffic is the only bad part
