Best bass boat to jon boat build I have ever seen! And thats saying allot.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Parker. Appreciate the feedback. It was a tough one but I learned allot from others and by making mistakes along the way too lol.

[@WitchDRofKabul]

Dude, you seam like such a wholesome guy. God bless you and thank you.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Johnny. Appreciate the comment. God bless you too!!!

[@ianyokoro8925]

Oh sh*t, that's a dope ride! Pat yourself on the back man, it's a high quality conversion! Love all the bells & whistles! Better take the wife fishing for all the sacrifices!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

You got that right Ian. She held things down so I could live in the garage for the last 4 months and build this boat lol. Ill definitely be taking her out soon.

[@Ilogrich]

Can't wait for the maiden voyage vid

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Coming Soon!!!

[@joshotey2967]

Excellent build my man! Just got a 16x48, and you've got my wheels spinning! Unfortunately my dad will not be here to fish with me. The rona took him out on February 16th of this year. That's who I got the boat from. He was in the middle of getting it set up and it breaks my heart he's not going to get to finish it and go fishing in it. Got a brand new 30hp Tohatsu on it too, which isn't even broke in yet. I helped him customize the side console for it. We've fished together my whole life, and I'm 41. Not going to be the same without him, that's for sure. Anyhow, I'm enjoying your channel and wish you nothing but success. Cheers and tight lines!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is very tough. Unfortunately I know from experience. Sounds like he left you an awesome boat and project that you can dedicate to him. Good luck and stay safe.

[@johnschmauder5132]

And the student becomes the master!!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Call me Luke lol.... It's been a great process. Glad I didn't put any holes in the hull of the boat along the way lol... Thanks for being a part of this.

[@fabfishing7422]

So great to see you my Bass Brothers! It's been a long time but we're back! You guys are making phenomenal content! You definitely found a great groove!! God bless you guys!!! ~FAB~

Blessings to you too FullArmorBassin. Welcome back. Things haven't been the same without you but I definitely understand the higher calling. Take care bud. Thanks for checking in on us.

[@fishingwithjett5373]

Truly Blessed for sho to get all the support you need to make such a nice looking boat. Looking forward to all future videos on Rona.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Arjectrick.

[@schoon3303]

Nice setup and work. I’ll be referencing this vid when I do mine. Thanks for sharing it!

[@laloromero6860]

I watch your full build video and what an amazing job you did! I especially liked how detailed you got on certain areas that I can imagine myself having questions about. I want to add a casting deck with a locker or two and your videos have given me the courage to try. Thank you so much and happy fishing sir!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

That's awesome Lalo. Just take your time, think it through and have fun. Good luck and tight lines!!!

[@joshwokojance3790]

The boat is awesome! You’ve done an amazing job! I’ve been looking forward to this video since the beginning, and you didn’t disappoint. Now we need to see you and your brother fishing on it.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks for your patience Josh. This was truly a journey. Thsnks for sticking with us this far. More to come.

[@tysontomko]

Carpet looks really clean bro, well done -- (from a fellow Pelican Bass Raider owner)

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback. Pelican Bass Raiders rule 👊🏾😃

[@thomasbendowski2226]

Beautifully done! A lot of attention to detail! One thing to keep in mind, which you probably already have, but your nav lights will need to be visible from the side too. Kudos!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. I actually added a pole light since the build just to play it safe.

[@ShutterUp]

Get that thing on the water man! Slime it up.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Yea man. Ready to goooooo!!!!!!!!

[@TKOSNGR]

Turned out great! Nice tow vehicle too! I have the same SUV (same color as well) and it pulls my modded Alumacraft 1448 like it's not even back there. Can't wait to see the maiden voyage vid 👍

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I agree with you 100% on the towing ability. No complaints here. No need to buy a pickup truck like allot of people do.

[@ericreinhardt115]

Very nice job! I’m glad you were able to complete this project and stayed married. You give me hope! Outstanding!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Amen to that!!!

[@richardallain6277]

That is awesome, my friend! I have followed this build from day 1. This build has been uplifting and inspirational to me, especially during these trying times. Thank you so much for showing us how to,persevere and succeed with grace and dignity. I will retire in a few years and my wife and I plan to buy a house on a lake. I now have her convinced that I need to build a tiny boat...lol. I hope to show you my boat build in a few years. Thanks so much for the ride!, I look forward to Rona 2.0 videos and especially the seeing you and your brother break in the boat! Stay safe, stay healthy, god bless.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Richard. I'm very excited for you. Look forward to seeing your boat build when you finish it. Thanks for being a part of this journey from day 1. It's been an awesome experience. Oh, house on a lake for retirement sounds amazing. Lake house and boat, what more could you ask for :).

[@tony1438]

This is one of the CLEANEST and well thought out boats I’ve seen. Very very well done, quality and not rushed. I am going to build mine of your template. Excellent design and attention to detail.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Tony. Take your time and enjoy the process. Looking back now I'm glad I didn't rush and fishing from it feels crazy rewarding.

[@anthony7486]

Great videos. I just started my build! I have a 15' Grumman jon boat that's been sitting in my backyard for 7 years doing nothing... I started today rebuilding the transom. I used blue deamon weld rods to fix some tiny holes and the flame went thru the holes enough to ignite the transom and smolder a nice fire lol! That sparked the transom rebuild, pun intended. It was rotten anyway so kind of glad that happened. Ne way, thanks for the inspiration! on to framing, decking, swearing, drinking, mathing, cutting, more swearing, more drinking, and hopefully some fishing lol.

[@joshsheinis5968]

WOW WOW WOW just wow, what an amazing professional build. I am in the process of purchasing the same boat and would love to do something similar to this. Although I do not think I can pull something off quite as nice haha

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks. Give it a shot. You'll be surprised what you can get done.

[@aaroncannon5512]

Merchant mariner here. Them lights are just fine 👌🏻

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

[@deguzzy]

That is one amazing boat! Love the details and craftsmanship. Great video 🤙🏽

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Dennis. Appreciate the feedback. 🤙🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@kelvin3p23]

Mr. N, not sure how to spell your name but Bro....It is truly remarkable what you've accomplished with this boat build. I built a 1436 myself inspired by Mike Lopez, Fire Ant Fishing and Anthony Jones but nothing compared to what you guys do. Truly amazing. I have had issues trying to obtain a title for my boat however, yesterday 08/02/2022 I traded for another 1436 with a 3.0 Mercury outboard and a 2.5 Mariner and all the paperwork. I know I will likely end up selling the motors because I doubt they will push a boat build like this but I do have an older Evinrude 9.9. Looking forward to starting my building in the near future. Thank you for sharing your ideas and expertise with the KZbin family of DIY'ers. Just Awe inspiring bro.

[@jamesgunnyreed]

Prob the best Tin Boat conversion I have ever seen. Awesome job!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks James. Much appreciated

[@texstar77]

Your wife is a definite Keeper! Now invest in flowers, gold, and diamonds! Her turn!! Great boat!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Lol. Thanks.

[@marlinallen494]

Mmaaaannnnnn!!! Quit playing with the people Bro. Opening the video with door opening and the lights on. Whooo!! The boat is looking cocked and ready to rock. The only thing missing is the rich Corinthian leather, lol. My hat is off to you. I see from the walk through that much thought and attention to detail went into the build. I am sure it's going to get a workout when you get it on the water. I am looking forward to seeing the maiden voyage. Hook one for me Bro. Peace.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

lmao Marlin. Thanks man. I try to spice up the vid edits whenever I have the time. Wanted to make the reveal special. All I want to do is fish now. Feels like I'm way behind this season. Thanks for being a part of this epic journey. More to come.

[@gumboslice7666]

Absolutely awesome build! Out of all the boats I have owned I always wanted to get a wide 12-14 ft Jon and do this to it but never did, now the wife won’t let me have more then one boat and I just can’t get my self to part with the ole trusty bass raider!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I hear you. Having both boats definitely keeps me versatile. Now I use the bass raider mostly for hand launch only lakes. Hopefully you will eventually get her blessing to get you a 1448 jon.

[@mrgrivers1]

I am Impressed and motivated. I have a 1982 16ft pleasure cruiser made by Galaxy. Because of your inspiration, I'm turning it into a bass-catching fool. Lol. Keep an eye out for me.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Sounds awesome man. Good luck with your build. Send me some pics as you go. [e-mail] or DM me on IG.

[@lukekennedy8377]

I’m so happy for you! You and your family should have a great time on that boat! Nothing’s better than something you made!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Absolutely. Took two of my Son's out today and we had a blast. The boat held up nicely too.

[@spirited_angler]

Glad to see the Boat Reveal. Its nice, I've watched from start to finish...Looks great.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Appreciate you man. I'm glad it came out this good considering its my first build.

[@slougo5909]

Pretty Boat and Pretty Impressive Fella! As an old bank fishermen I'm envious. Good Job Indeed. Thanks for video taping the experience. I'm viewing these in order of your build, can't wait till ya throw her in the water. Oh, You need to give that Bad Boy or Girl a name!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Brian the boat's name is Rona. Thanks for the feedback. It was an awesome process and learning experience. I'm about to start a new boat project as well. Glad to have you along for the ride.

[@slougo5909]

Thanks for reply, Like the T-shirt says....The Tug is My Drug.

Bass Brothers Fishing DMV yeah they’re pretty nice got them at tackle warehouse

[@markfrye9885]

Bro love how you started the video with it lit up

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

[@bobbymartin415]

I enjoyed this set of videos. Learned a lot. You did well as the apprentice with no master to guide him. You are now the"Master Boat Builder". I have watched some several times. I think I would start the framing with the floor and sides first. Not a complaint just an observation. Also look into a table saw that can take an aluminum blade. Maybe a table scroll saw with a metal cutting blade. Let the tools do the job. Thanks for the videos.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

[@jimwilkey7294]

That’s right... I’m calling it Rhona! So damn funny 😄 Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see the test with a 50hp 2 stroke mounted on the rear 👊🇺🇸

[@kennethnied5242]

Well done! Congratulations.

Thanks Kenneth

[@scottbrown7314]

Very, very well done! I've enjoyed every episode of this build and can't wait to see it on the water. Don't turn your back on the Bass Raider!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Sydney. I still love the Bass Raider and plan to still fish on it. Stay tuned for more fishing vids.

[@katebeckinsnail910]

Really good looking quality. I'm a metal fabricator, so I'm excited to build something like yours. Good job man, I hope you catch a ton of fish and enjoy the hell out of it.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Kevin. Imma do my best. 👍🏾

[@doomgrim7]

Awesome im doing a lowe 1440 rite now. Thanks for all the idea's. Dude I hope you catch so many fish god bless you. I told my wife she could lay on the front deck and get some Sun. That's how im able to build my boat deck. Your a good man.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your build. Build your wife a nice comfortable deck so you can get more fishing time in 😜

[@tedondrish9204]

Fantastic, you're a master at this, it's gonna be fun.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Wish I was Ted. Thanks for the compliment though. Learned allot. It's going to be a fun boat to fish from. Thanks for being a part of this epic journey. More to come.

[@WeaponStencils]

Brother, these videos are hands down, the best on YT. Just got gifted a 1232 blank hull and I'll be using so many of your ideas. Excellent detail, commentary and editing. Keep em coming!!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks👍🏾🤙🏾

[@oliverjohnston1313]

Super cool and clean build I watched some of your vids and it inspired me to buy my alumacraft John boat I’ve been watching KZbin for a while this is probably my first comment I’ve made on KZbin but I thought it was worth it because I can’t even imagine how long and hard it must’ve been to achieve this goal nice work and I hope you have fun on your boat. 🙂

[@BeerBourbonBaits]

Awesome!!! Glad to see some fish in the boat. Congratulations on getting her to this point. Also, your editing game is always improving. Keep crushing ‘em! 💪

Awesome looking boat man!! Can’t wait to see the maiden voyage! Great inspiration for me for my build this winter!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks josh. Maiden voyage vid coming soon. Building in the winter is the best way to go. I tried to buy mine in December last year but it didn't come in until March which sucked. So if you don't have your boat already, start the purchase process early so you at least get that part out the way. Good luck.

[@0418baker]

Bass Brothers Fishing DMV yes sir got it about 2 months ago. It’s a alumacraft 1448 mv hull. Can’t wait to start on it.

[@raymondsuckow1569]

You got that boat done up right ! I just bought a Jon boat had a deck on it from the last owner without storage doors just the whole deck lefts up kind of a pain the only problems I had with my boat is the carpet which if you camp out and fish for few days if it rains you are now sitting on a sponge not to mention it started to smell like mildew I riled it off and epoxy the deck been working out great plus my lures kept getting stuck in the carpet enjoyed your videos and ideas thanks now fill that boat with fish !!!

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks.

[@johnnielarge5506]

I found your videos due to I’m going to add lights to my boat they I just bought and your build is impressive. 👍

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Johnnie.

[@matthewwebb2709]

I binged watched this series from beginning to end. I was so excited to see the final result. You should be proud! That boat looks awesome! I really want to do one of these builds but I’m still a little intimidated because I’m not very mechanically inclined nor own most of the tools that are needed. But you showed a lot more detail than TBNation and fireant. It made me think that I could possibly do this someday. Would you be able to do a live Q and A someday?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Hey Matt. Sorry 8m just seeing your comment. Appreciate the kid words. Glad you liked the series. I'm always here if you have any questions. Just DM me.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Thanks Ken. Appreciate the support and feedback. Welcome to our channel.

[@barrychandler4486]

very nice. i see a few things i would change, like i would have kept the live well, another seat on the rear for my wife who fishes, and a little different in the rod locker. But i think it was probably more informative and in depth on how you did things. enjoy it. i want to do one just to do it

[@WitchDRofKabul]

Slickest build I've seen

[@jaymacklin8303]

Great job ! The lights up front are legal but the backs I dont think so ,it needs to be elevated above the boat.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

Ok cool. Good to know. I'll confirm. I also heard the front needs to be a round light visible from multi angles. Thanks for the feedback.

Really nice work done. Looking forward to doing a build myself. Currently have SUV on order, next up will be boat. So tired of being landlocked for fishing.

looks great! you need an all around white light for your stern. didnt see that you had anything other than the LED strips on the transom.

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I'll be sure to get one once I'm ready to night fish which will prob be next year. Thanks for the info.

[@joshuaguidry8332]
