    Jon boats are a blast. Just left comment about my little jon on your other vid. I recently bought the same fish finder as you on sale. A simple upgrade I did on my jon was placing rigid insulation foam between the ribs which makes a perfect flat surface for plywood, makes floor stronger too
    I used left over lp siding from porch ceiling. The other thing I added was a mini jackplate with square aluminum tubing braces between transom and seat. Makes transom stronger, lifts motor, adds setback. My boat's only 10' with 4hp but would handle your 9.9 with the beefed up transom.

      Heck yeah! I’ve been thinking about adding a floor.

    Thanks for mentioning the possibility of running into issues if sharing a battery between a trolley motor and a fishfinder. I never knew about this.

    I’ve been so hung up on big water boats and if I’m being honest to myself.. I can’t afford it. I could get a decent used one but that’s always a gamble. I could swing one of these… I just don’t get excited fishing smaller lakes.

    I thought my 14x36 was perfect until i got a 14x52. I now think the 52 is perfect. It floats so shallow because of how wide it is and its still not that heavy. And the sides are higher and it sits higher out of water so it can handle bigger waves

    The BEST part of these boats, you own them from DAY ONE! We get the same fish, on the same water as the families with boat payments. Yeah, no-frills mean no frills, but YOU NEVER FORGET TO BRING WHAT YOU DON'T NEED TO REMEMBER WITH ONE OF THESE. It is what it is, let it eat.

    Will you please tell me how long of a trip you’re comfortable towing that? I want to get one so bad, but I live in south Texas and all the public hunting land is 5 hours away average. I’m worried the tiny wheels aren’t meant for long hauls and I would need some guidance on retrofitting for king trips. Any advice would be great, thank you!

      A boat that size you can ratchet strap into the bed a pickup.
      Obviously make sure the motor wont flip it up, but it's doable

    1 year old video I know, you mention kayak fishing do you miss it? Considering a better kayak but for the 2-3k price I feel I could replace my current 16’ vhull boat with a flat bottom and move my motor and everything over for cheaper

    I just picked up a brand new 1436 jon from bass pro, it was a package deal with the 15 horse merc, and i i had to buy a trailer, all said and done out the door was 6,150. i wanted the 9.9 but i think it would have been more expensive because i would have had to get the boat and motor separate. I cant wait to get the motor broke in and have some fun with it. I love my hobie kayak, but i needed something with a motor for some of the bigger lakes, and river runs that i want to do.

    What is the weight capacity? And how many people? I heard you say you had 2 in the front and you in the back. I just picked up at 14’ John boat it says Max 2 people 250lbs. 390 person, gear and motor.

    Thanks for the video. I just found a Topper with a Yamaha 9.9 trolling motor trailer etc. Has some cheap decking I'd probably get rid of. I just worry about the size. Not that it's too small but that I'm too big @ 6'4" and 300. Thoughts?

    • @5050fishing
      @5050fishing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Shaft is very short was actually designed for a kayak. (MotorGuide sent me the motor to do some content with it on kayaks.) I mounted it to the side the way I did because it was the only way I could get enough length for it to work.

    Hey I'm wanting to buy me one of these trackers now I don't want to run a external tank for the motor so would a 6hp mercury push this well. If not I'll just get the 1542 with the 9.9 and run a external tank. The 6hp has the built in fuel tank to the mower so I just need a 1 gallon emergency tank for when i run out trying to minimize weight

    • @5050fishing
      @5050fishing  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know if a 6hp would plane it. I only run a 3.5 gallon tank with mine and it does fine. I could run it for like 2 weeks without filling up lol. Gotta love 4-strokes

    I wish I could fish from a Jon boat. I can't stand in one of therm without them being really unstable and risking tossing me out of them, and the seating is so low that I can't get back up if I do sit down.
    I know there must be a technique to it, but I have searched TH-cam every way I know how and can't find jack.
    I will stick to the shoreline, but that looks like all I would ever need, if I could actually use one, lol.
