Welcome to my all aluminum jon boat framing walk thru. I intended on doing a step by step framing video but given the time it takes to film and that this is a customer boat, I couldn't dedicate the time to do it. So here is the next best thing, a full walk thru of the finished all aluminum framing package!
In this video I will give you an in depth walk thru of this 1436 and the all aluminum framing within it. It underwent major alteration as I modified the original benches and fully enclosed the front and back areas of the boat to accommodate decking and storage compartments. It turned out really nice!
I'll show you the materials I used, the tools needed to complete this all aluminum framing job, and give you some tips and tricks along the way. Hopefully this video can give you some useful information or ideas that you can implement into your very own build!
Talking to you on camera helps me not talk to the voices inside my head. Thanks for watching, hope this helps someone with their project!

I’m an aircraft mechanic in Copperhill TN. With the exception of me having upgraded tools, you have done an outstanding job with this boat and the video. I have a 14/36 Lowe I’m about to do and I’m basking it on your work here. Great job brother! Will see you on the water!👍

[@eagle6212]

Baseing*

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Thank you very much man! Have fun with your build!

[@joeschmoe1301]

This is not a boat modification, it is a masterpiece. Anthony is obviously on a different journey. We'll just have sit back and watch.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Get the popcorn ready, the best has yet to come. I appreciate the support 👊

[@dorperdorper3396]

Thank you for the detail, thought process and the sincerity in saying “some of this is on the fly”. Your meticulous attention to detail shows. Congratulations on your passion and hard work - it shows!

[@rbrady125]

Great video, I really like the clean lines and the fact that you addressed the gaps and differences between an aluminum versus wood deck. 👌

[@outofbody6797]

video definitely helped out i see certain things you did i can implement into my build. you have here, excellent framing bro

[@mattboast]

Epic as always appreciate all your support with my build 🇬🇧🙌🏻

[@FishingwithGabriel]

This is wayyyy better then doing some long how to video, thanks!!

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

thank u

[@clydedenby1436]

Personally, I never really need or want a highly detailed "how-to" video. I find it more useful to know what obstacles were encountered and the craftsman's solution and logic process. Beyond that, just seeing the final product is sufficient because even though everyone's end result is going to be similar, it will never be exactly the same. Well done today!

[@bitenbass]

Wow unreal great work

[@Vera-xu3xw]

I never knew they made Countersunk rivets. GAME CHANGER thanks bro. Great Channel and build

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

No problem, thank u

[@rayarnold8275]

Another awesome video thanks for sharing great workmanship looks awesome god bless

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

no problem thanks for the support

[@davidwright1805]

great overview!

[@chrisroberts3963]

That’s shiny! I love everything except the plastic tote for the livewell.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

High end on some stuff, saved $ on others. Wait til you see it done though....it's BAD

[@johnglover6969]

What size countersink bit do you use ? Love the channel!!! Keep up the great content

[@gordonlechner4474]

Great video, really helpful. Do you use an angle bracket at all of the framing intersections or do some of them just depend on the rivets?

[@sedali5882]

What a amazing job, it’s slick! I’m looking to turn a 1436 to shallow saltwater skiff. My main concern is the weight. Do you know roughly how much does your railing weigh?

[@TheHamadanners]

I was think about this pretty sweet

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

thanks cuz

[@minyagavrilovic8129]

Beautiful job! I'm about to start my own. Couple questions - Was your 1/16" angle aluminum 1.5"x1.5"? Did you feel you could have gone with 2"x2" or that would have been overkill? Also, on the uprights, you mention 1/8". Are they 1"x1" tube at 1/8" thick walls? Thanks.

[@bidkid2020]

Getting ready to start on my brother's he's got the same boat what kind of money was it for all the aluminum if you don't mind me asking thanks for the video

[@shannonturnpaugh6603]

How much did it cost for all the Aluminum Framing i have a 14' boat i would like to do that to but was wondering how much the materials would cost

[@tron-nt4bi]

Anthony, The framing is great, I'm considering doing something very similar, but I would like to have a rod locker. Do you think it would be possible to cut into the walls of the middle bench seat without compromising strength?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Totally possible. It gets tight in these small boats like this 1436 but it can be done and the bigger the boat the easier it gets to design and layout.

[@ronrose3659]

Awesome stuff. When ripping out foam and adding weight how do you know your not going to have buoyancy issues? Thanks

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I've seen boats with 1,000 pds of batteries and no foam with no issues. The foam only matters if you take on water. That's why I make sure to have a solid bilge pump and wiring job. From what I've seen, I can do whatever I want to the inside of these the way I do without isdues.

[@gioelizondo4715]

what is your starting point with level? do your level the middle bench the level frameing off that grade?

[@BillaBong1]

Hi , I been going through your builds and now wanting to do the same but i need your help answering a question or two if you don't mind. I'm looking to purchase the Milwaukee rivet gun which do I need? Can the m18 do the same size rivets the m12 can? Is all rivets pin/mandrel same size.

[@FishinOnaMission]

Can if you recorded this it would have been the best video on framing on KZbin

[@PimpnBass]

Amazing build video. How much weight in aluminum do you think you added before adding the deck?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I order 6ft sticks X 50 at a time. Shipping label says 58pds. This boat has 32 sticks. 35 pds give or take is my guess

[@PimpnBass]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats thanks for the reply. Just trying to make sure I dont add more weight than allowed on my boat. I have a 1991 western 13'3' welded aluminum. Trying to put together your ideas and figure out where to start to get mine going. Thanks again bud. Keep building .

[@TheSilverSurfisher]

I swear ya beat me to it @ 14:38😂…(that’s what {It}

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

My question is how long does a riveted frame boat last?

[@benhightowerv]

So for this 14 footer which aluminum kit did you get? I.e. was the 14-16' kit enough aluminum? I'm gonna do the same on my 14x48 with aluminum frame and ply deck and was wondering if there'd be enough aluminum in the kit to do everything.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I don't buy kits. I buy in bulk, 50 sticks of aluminum at a time minimum. The aluminum I buy is the same they sell on tbnation, I just get bulk opportunity. I'm not familiar with their kits or what is included so I couldn't speak on that unfortunately.

[@benhightowerv]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats that makes sense.

[@bugbotbuilder]

I am considering not riveting the angles to the boat side like you have done with this boat. Have you had any second thoughts about doing this?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

No. It needs side support and ties the deck into the hull.

[@frankrodriguez1977]

That back end seems a bit heavy with 3 batteries and a live well. Then you add a motor and fuel, might be too much. I think it will sit way too low in the water.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

You must have missed the part where I explained this boat is only running a trolling motor, no gas outboard, which is why we put the batteries in the back. Also, with batteries in the back, where exactly are we putting the gas tank at now?

[@thegreatwhitegoat2882]

Can i ask what was the final price for all the aluminum framing you did.

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

32 6 ft sticks of 1/16th 1.5x1.5 aluminum. Not sure what they go for in your area. I get dealer cost from a supplier

[@FishingwithGabriel]

Do you then rivet or screw the deck to the aluminum?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

If its aluminum decking, use tge same countersink rivets I showed in video to attach decking. If it is wood decking, I use #6 1.5" inch Stainless self tapping screws. Paint grey first, then go straight through the carpet and plywood and hit framing. Be aware of your wire locations. If using tge impact it should barely bury the screw heads in the wood, sealing it, and the screw will hide in the carpet especially will paint on the head. Professional grade.

[@FishingwithGabriel]

@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats ok thanks!!

[@adammckenzie8769]

Can some give me the aluminium angle in millimeters Is it 50x50wide 1.6 mm thick Or 70x70 wide And 3mm thick

[@xxxxxxx3760]

Will there ever be any but flat bottom my one v bottom

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I got customer builds with deposits until February 2022, I do not believe any are v hulls. They just aren't very popular here for what we do in Georgia. If a customer ever brings one, you can believe there will be video on it.

[@macklee54]

Is the no outboard going on this?

[@Mattyehdams]

What gauge aluminum for the flooring under the deck?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

.060 or .090 , depending on the project on how i run the framing

[@proto4870]

What was roughly the weight and cost of all that aluminum

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

50 pds, not sure on cost

[@adictosalapescaex4887]

How can a fisherman call to something so manly as a fishing boat?

[@chillkayaklife8667]

1/16 is 1,5mm right ?

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

Google says 1/16 inch is 1.588 mm

[@dsskid456]

Can you do my boat I have a Loews 1668

[@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats]

I currently have a year wait list..
