Note: All the info below I am copying off of another forum I'm on, so if timeline doesnt seem right, thats why...lol)
Finally posting pics of the jon boat I bouhgt last September. Its not pretty, but its NICE. its a 14'40" (wider than most) Polar Craft Flat Bottom Jon boat on a 16' Cox Breakaway (it can hinge to load off of hilly ramps). The trailer has new tires and wheels on it.
It has a welded spot on the front on the bottom. looks like a big puddle of weld. Me and the fiance took it out last Sat. and it leaked right there out of a TINY pin hole. we just took bubble gum and plugged it (We didnt have anything else and i wasnt about to load it back up and call it quits for the day). we fished for three hours without a drop of water coming in right there. i have to say i bought a NICE boat. It doesnt have any problems with it anywhere else ! its a good heavy duty thick guage aluminum jon boat!
when im finished with it it wont even look like the same boat! im going to paint it with Parker Coatings Duck Boat paint in Bay Grey (Cabelas carries it, but im ordering directly from company)
on to the pics, like i said it aint purdee (YET), but is nice:
