I pulled my 14' Fisher and trailer out from behind the shed and began working on it about a month ago. Had to replace the transom on the boat and fix a few leaks but the real cost was in getting the trailer to a point where it was safe to use so I would feel good about letting the kids use it. I probably have around $550.00 invested in the project. There's a couple of things I want to do to it yet but I feel good about how it has turned out so far. It's usable. My Son in law, Grandson and I took it out for the first time in 22 years this past week end. It brought back a lot of memories.

I’ve got one similar except it has a storage compartment between the two seats. Have absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing the build.

Nice restomod on a classic Jon boat. Keeping it simple was a good choice. Gonna make someone a nice new vessel for hooking into some fish and fun 🎣

I'm glad I found your channel, I had been looking to buy a boat so a friend and I could go out fishing, I've been watching your older videos of your jon boat builds and just found out this weekend that the friend I've been wanting to take fishing has a 12' jon that he felt wasn't worth anything so I showed him you 12' build and now we are going to check out his boat and hopefully breathe some life into it. The first thing I noticed was that it is 4 or 5 different colors, so we have to fix that. lol Keep up the great work and hopefully this channel can help you keep going on your builds because they are fun to see take shape.

I have the same boat, only a 1977. The only difference is a 3rd bench in the middle with a bait well. I'm redoing mine too but I am gonna put a deck up front with storage. I say all that to say your video was very helpful to see what I'll end up with. Thanx

i used a wirewheel on a cheap harbor freight drill, to get my old 1436 G3 Jon Boat, went straight to the aluminum and used foam roller to apply rustoleum red paint, mixed 4:1 with some hardener and it was a sad day when I sold her.

I know where you are coming from when spending loads of dosh on anything. We call it keeping up with the Jones’s in the UK. My neighbour turned his terrace house into a palace then wanted to put it on the market for let’s say £100,000 but the estate agent refused to, saying that the area it was in only warranted a price range of £60,000 - £65,000 irrespective of condition. To say he was pi##ed was putting it lightly. Wish I was in your neck of the woods as those boats look magic.🇬🇧😊

Are you worried about the plywood corroding the aluminum at all on this boat? Trying to choose between plywood or aluminum for my own boat’s floors.

Outdoor grade plywood shouldn’t corrode it’s the treated plywood you have to avoid

When putting in a seat base do you have to have a board mounted on the bench seat or can you fix the seat base directly on the aluminum bench seat?

What did you think about the Rustoleum paint? I recently painted a jon boat using the Rustoleum spray cans which turned out okay, but we recently bought a brand new Mercury 20hp and want to repaint, and since I've watched previous videos you have done using the "Aluma Hawk"? (or Total Boat?) and what I see with these two paints is that they have resin in it which says you don't need to primer it first, where as with the "rustoleum" being water based you needed to prime it' which you weren't going to, what did you think about it? plus you said they said don't roll it on, how did that go? PS hope Rebel gets better, sure likes to chase those tennis balls!! Thanks a lot for your videos they sure have been helpful!

@backwaterboatrehab 5 ай бұрын

This paint seemed to adhere better than total boats aluminum boat paint. And it didn’t look bad after rolling it on, not really sure why they don’t recommend doing that. I have repainted many outboards using rustoleum in a rattle can and they turn out good

Im looking at a 12foot waco on a older trailer and a johson 15hp not running just been sitting in a barn . Was a older gentlemans .Has title on both motor and boat. In good shape no dents original paint.. They are asking 950? Really want little bigger one but it seems to be a good deal.

@backwaterboatrehab 5 ай бұрын

Check the bottom width, if it’s at least 36” I’d say it’s worth it. Anything under 36” is a little too unstable for me at least. 1236 is a really cool size boat

Yes. Maybe I just had a bad batch or it didn’t want to work with the older aluminum boat I used it on. But I’ve talked to many others who were also unhappy with it.

What did you end up selling this one for? I started doing the same thing as a hobby. Bought a similar boat and fixed it up, paid 300 dollars for boat and trailer and 200 for a 9.8 mercury. Built a deck with hatches and painted trailer sold for 1700. Just curious on how you sell yours.
