That's awesome! I've never thought of doing that but I have the skill and tools. I'm going to follow your lead.

im in a state that requires a boat safety class before you can register a boat
When becoming one of the "Boat People" the concept of "money" looses all meaning......you do what it takes to get on the water.

Awesome job for the money. I was looking yesterday at another jon boat build for the river must be spring is coming.
All through history it has been proven that the right to keep and bear arms is ultimately the only thing that keeps us free
Very nice, I once saw a similar boat plan in Boy's Life magazine years ago and still have the plan. You simplified it somewhat which I like. Guess I need to build one, where I live, there isn't any large lakes that require a larger boat anyway.

If you decide to put a motor of any kind on a home made boat you have to get a
transom number from the Coast Guard
Safety inspection by the dept of wildlife
tax assement by the sheriff
registration.title by the state DMV
It's easier to just paddle it around.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Hi; Im new to the site. I hve a few questions about your build. If you used blackjack for sealer were you able to paint over it? Also did you build a frame first or put the stiffners in after? If the boat is 8' why did you use 2 pieces for the bottom? Thanks for the thread this will be my first boat project.
