Hey Guys and Gals,<br /><br /> I just bought a new boat, (new to me that is) and I wanted to know what year it is. I DO know that it is a Lowes and the model is a 14' "BIG JON" but that is all, I can't find a Manfacture plate on it anywhere. Any Help is welcomed and I thank you in advance. Also, I was wanting some suggestions on the building of a casting deck for just the front half of the boat, one that i could take out when I wanted to Catfish or just neeed the room. Thanks again for the help and making a newbie fisherman feel like family!<br />
