[@a3_Beats]

I can’t watch it right now but can’t wait to watch it!

Nothing better than a sunset cruise in a Jon boat👌🏽

[@braylonlangley5592]

Sunset cruise in a 38 ft fountain

@@braylonlangley5592 150’ Yacht is nice too

[@ericoverdorff8880]

Setting anchor on your 24' cabin cruiser at your favorite deer hunting location in southeast Alaska, after pulling your king crab pot on the way in. Then having king crab and deer heart for dinner. Much better!

[@dadsdailydiesel]

Nicely done, I’m in the middle of building a 12’ v nose Jon boat now, aluminum casting deck and all. Clean build brother

[@preston_brown01]

Appreciate it brother I was shooting for the simple quick build

[@dadsdailydiesel]

That’s what I should have done, it might actually be done by now lol couple more weeks and she’ll be out on the water though. Just ordered literally the final pieces

[@GJBOATS]

Great looking build! I'm gonna try that JB Weld for the BILGE PUMP mount, always had issues mounting those. Keep the videos coming!

[@preston_brown01]

Grind a little spot down on the boat before you stick it. I had to do it twice to fix my mistake!

[@GJBOATS]

@@preston_brown01 thanks! I’ll be sure and not make it a third try! Ha

[@danawalker55]

Awesome little boat!

[@matthewtaylor1697]

Looks fantastic.

[@AX01Adventures]

Good job, I like the battery mount…KISS ! I have an old 1648 I need to get cleaned up, and do some mods too. I want to pull the 25 hp Rude & 15” transom off, and fab up a 20” transom to mount a 75 hp Stinger. I just ordered a G2 1860. It’s going to get a Johnson V-4 60 degree looper 90 hp, and a jack-plate. I bet you could have got another MPH or two without that bimini top sticking straight up.

[@preston_brown01]

Your probably right haha but she’s a river boat for the gran kids he could care less that boats gonna live at 10mph 🤣🤣

[@austinalbin21]

Have you ever done seadek on a truck bed?

[@preston_brown01]

No but I feel like it wouldn’t stick too good.. not sure tho have too give it a try Amazon only has like 44” wide

[@glee8892]

Nice build, is that for sale?

[@preston_brown01]

No sir built for a friend

[@coltensawyer6761]

Any more boat content coming ? I just got a 1751 Jon. Had roller bunks didn’t like them seemed to me to put to much weight on 12 little wheels. Did two ten foot 2x4 boards. You think that support hull well? You know more then me. Front of them don’t touch but imma put a spacer between trailer and bunk to make it .

[@preston_brown01]

Usually use 2x6 but should be fine I wouldn’t worry about the front not touching

[@coltensawyer6761]

@@preston_brown01 any new content coming up ? And okay will do. You think it’s worth taking 2x4 I did off and do 2x6? Or it be fine. I mean my buddy 14-36 only has two 2x4 two foot sections under it. What you think ?

[@preston_brown01]

@@coltensawyer6761 if you already put carpet on it, I would just leave it if not, it might be smarter to do 2 x 6 but honestly it’s probably totally fine. Video hopefully next couple days.

[@datilman9146]

Awsome job!! I would have done gray on the outside and tan on the inside. I want a boat just like that. Clean.... what size jon boat is that?

[@preston_brown01]

16ft think 60” wide somewhere around that size hard too find

[@joshuavillalobos8218]

bro this is fkn awesome! I just got myself a 12 ft Alumicraft and I think I'ma go ahead and build it Like this but with a stereo and speakers. Do you happen to have a video on how to install it? Do I need an amp?

[@preston_brown01]

Amp linked below and I know I videoed the wiring job on the mud boat build. I think I also did a video on a bigger boat with the same amp!

[@joshuavillalobos8218]

@@preston_brown01 Hell Yeah man I appreciate it! I had no idea it was this easy lol.

[@preston_brown01]
