dang. haha good posts.

so ive been curious about people who've replaced floors, or boats that need a new one.

whats the deal? the flooring is pretty straightforward isnt it? i mean, you can just lay something down and call it a day right?

i redid the floor in mine. just got some 1/2" PT and some stainless wood screws. cut it to fit contours and shit, drill a pilot hole, screw it down. get some marine carpet (don't fuck with the indoor/outdoor shit because it'll dry rot in a year, i learned the hard way), staples, and 3M spray adhesive and go to town.

trailer looks like shit, but you won't be pulling it far anyway. a v-hull like this will be a lot more stable and split a little chop better. a lot better suited to the sound than a true "jon" boat

plenty of room in this one to get it set up just the way you want it

$800 sounds too good to be true on this

nice
i like the 2nd link.

but 17feet looks a bit big. we already have a crownline boat that we use for cruisin. its an 18ft one and i just dont want to see 2 boats that big there. i really want a 12-14ft one that i can just keep at the beach. we keep the crownline there for the summer and bring it back when we arent using the house. but this jon boat i can keep for as long as i want there.

150 is HUGE, i have a 125 on my 19 foot BAYLINER bass boat

and its big for it really

theres no way you would want something over 50 hp on a jon boat, even that would be a lot

[Edited on May 22, 2008 at 5:57 PM. Reason : r]

id love to have those two 150's though, or even the 200

[Edited on May 22, 2008 at 5:58 PM. Reason : d]

unless they've been ground off, the boat will have a coast guard plate or sticker that tells the max. horsepower. probably around 50-70 for the 18' and maybe 30 for the 14'

i wouldn't go in the sound in that 3'x14' though. hell, i wouldn't even put that thing in the neuse at new bern.

ok, so if things go as planned, im hoping can get this side console jon boat for next to free.

it was laying around in this guys land, i took a look at it and contacted the owner of the land. it was a repo boat, so there is no title for boat nor trailer. but it had a motor on it, trolling motor and thats all i saw, it had a cover on it also. it def. was not in the best of shapes, trailer tires were flat and stuff, so you know its been sitting.

now, the guy i talked to on the phone mentioned we could work something out, and i flat out told him that honestly i dont think its worth a price, but maybe some bartering. he's agreed to go look at it with me and make a deal.

suppose to go tomorrow, hopefully it doesnt rain too bad while we are there. i just wanna pick that thing up and bring it home and get to working on it.

ill take the camera and snap some pics.
