We built the worlds Longest Jon Boat

[@DuMStuFFrc]

One small step for Jon, one giant leap for Jonkind.

[@Ajaxaxxess]

Junkind :)

[@njonebale7889]

That’s the greatest thing I’ve seen on KZbin!…just broke out cracking up!…ran like a dream….here’s what you do…make another one and race them through some narrow creeks with tight turns and see who makes it!…I love it …great job!

[@jacobthompson2216]

Now double the width with 2 boats and make it a twin 50 setup

[@AJyfm700R]

Love that idea👌

[@mturnbull64]

What? A double wide, it can't be done, but that's what they said about my house trailer and look at us now, all fancy.

[@Jamesgiggity]

YES

[@Jamesgiggity]

PLS DO THIS

[@sled_neckx9972]

You should put the 200hp Merc on this one 😂

[@a3_Beats]

Thats What i was thinking lol!

[@jdezzdeason5296]

it would fold in half lmao

[@saxbychaplin1112]

The stern would immediately sink!! Not wide enuff to support the weight of him an the 200 merc!!! Now, If he would split her in half longways, Add 36 more inches of width, Holy shit whatta big ole fast barge that would be!!! lol.

[@mars7786]

They just said they lost it for leagal reasons

[@OntarioSecret]

Mercs suck

[@casey6104]

For longevity you might want to add some cross member supports near the welds

[@mmmmm54321]

yeah i'd want to add some square tube front to back on the bottom to reinforce it, but then again it's for shits and giggles

[@casey6104]

@@mmmmm54321 that thing is fuckin sick tho. Honestly would probably be a sweet boat for gator hunting because a little (controlled) flex like this boat has would probably make loading a big gator an easier process.

[@casey6104]

@@mmmmm54321 just fyi, y’all are definitely my favorite channel. The down to earth screwing around yall do is hilarious. I can’t see a reason for it, but I hope this one doesn’t get taken by the police lol. Also if y’all wanted to further franken-boat this thing, yall could do weld some triangle-cut Jon boat front ends as sponsons to the stern and it would give you a little bit more flotation and probably limit any water you take on back there.

[@tombeyer375]

Even when it was empty, and he slapped the bottom down on the water, I was cringing and waiting for the impact to cause it to buckle. Cool fun though!!

[@casey6104]

@@tombeyer375 would be a sick river boat.

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

I honestly can't believe it didn't buckle - especially when it was fully loaded!

[@D1NKERR]

I thought the same thing, Wayne. The motor is pulling the front end out of the water...there's a lot of stress on those aluminum welds. Sucker still worked though!

[@devenburnham7179]

That ain’t a Jon boat. That’s a Johnathan boat.

[@robcarebear]

I grew up in the neighborhood you launched the boat in, very cool seeing local channels.

[@brandenwaltz9879]

Yep cleavers are great stern lifting props. Choppers are great for bow lifting which might work well if they trimmed it down and raised it up.

[@connorbaird699]

I think the universe needs a 50 foot Jon boat

[@Gibson_Nutt]

Agreed lmao

[@derekdamico3858]

They have one its called a striker

[@krusejonathan01]

Super creative. This style of long and narrow boat is very common in I believe South America and other parts of the world. I wish we could’ve seen more of the building process… Great original work guys.

[@zakqwy]

Could you build another and use them like two pontoons? Identical engine, linked tillers, big frame with net in between, etc. 30' x 30' square boat! Differential steering would probably do a lot. Maybe use those trusses DJs hang lights from, probably cheap used. Assemble on the water. Would be wild

[@oldwinchester76]

Lol yeah that'd be cool. I thought catamaran but go full Waterworld with the net in between

[@parkerwhaley4814]

Take it to haulover

[@Qantas7]

Piz do that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@graysonjohnston7972]

That’s awesome man. Sorry to hear about the legal trouble but I’m enjoying your old boat a lot 👍

[@JamesBeaucoup]

Such a long boat deserves a long prop! You guys should get a really really long prop shaft extension like those south Asian race boats have

[@jeremyooi1996]

yeah!! the legendary Thai longtail hydroplanes

[@BobbyJones-tv6im]

That’s a totally different motor from an outboard…

[@ericthered976]

@@BobbyJones-tv6im true but why not? Weld a long ass piece to the prop shaft and see what happens before the shaft bearing fails....."for science"

[@rabbittwhite]

better not fall out youll be turned to chum

[@Beardlovesdog]

Nice work fellas it reminds me of the long boats in Vietnam. Maybe put a counter weight up front so the boat does not plane so high. Also maybe use a small pump to remove any water.

[@parkerwhaley4814]

69ft jon boat would be wilddd

[@christophersmith0865]

Congrats Gents, got yerself the first and only, Party-Jon. The ladies loved it, time to start producing these things.

[@stumpbumpers]

Polish it brite and call it “Long Jon Silver”!!😂

[@MMMaxCrew]

Nice job they actually have these long boats all over Russia for shallow rivers. (Some are made of of Wood, Fiberglass, Aluminum and now Extrusion Welded super durable HDPE plastic) It’s actually quite common all over the world to have long, narrow boats for rivers and coastal areas to carry heavy loads with minimal power

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

You shoulda hollered out, "Mines longer!" when you went past the guys and girls in the water...😂

[@tripplebeards3427]

That’s awesome awesome! I had one super narrow like that that was 20 foot and it had live wells in the middle seat! I never did sink it, but I came close a few times with a 25 horse Mercury on the back. If I took a corner to sharp, the whole back end would start filling up with water and coming over the back end.

[@DatBlueHusky]

might wanna add some tail fins in the back like what race boats have so it can lift the rear up. You can make then adjustable as well

[@camkitchiner]

The boys strike again. Awesome vid

[@garrettjohnson2748]

Awesome job y’all! The American version of the Thailand river boat!l but even better I would make it even longer and if somehow you can make a 200 work I say go for it!

[@vadimgarnik5042]

I have a question where did you get the Aluminum for the extension of this boat Cause it looks perfect lines up and all.

[@handyandy5929]

This is awesome. The lawn tractor is awesome. Everything is awesome.

[@Wadinator038]

That suckers a long john 😂😂

[@gt1man931]

It needs some stringer support to keep it from folding, or that will happen. A really good bilge pump seems like a need, then send it.

[@cancelchannel3394]

Love the 200, and the 26ft. Jon boat is another great idea, I think the sides needs to be a little taller 😊

[@mightyminifarm]

You fellers are an inspiration! Keep going!!

[@SirVivalDotKom]

The ladies loved it 🦾💯

[@NoLiS24]

Nice one..although I never understood why Jon boats in USA are built so short at the sidewalls...I have made a couple of jon boats for myself(for a hobby) from plywood and polyester-fiberglass ..ranging from 3.30 meters up to 7.10 meters and all of them are much more taller at the sides compared to those made from an professional manufacturer-company..why is that?is it to save weight?

[@guylishman3209]

Make it between 34-70ft then if it works add sides like on a canal boat 😂

[@anthonyberry2627]

You need to strengthen the gunnels the length over the entire boat. If you look down the boat from the rear, you can see the deformation in the extension.

[@wjsj69]

That's fricken hilarious! Nice work!

How are you putting it together , weld n rivets ?

[@sandcreekoutdoors1056]

An OG Thai long tail would be absolutely perfect on this build

[@I2ed3ye]

ngl I thought it would be silly to see the world's longest jon boat.. but ironically it just makes other boats look silly by comparison. Hoping to see a 70 footer!

[@davidschmidt8391]

12 more feet! 250 more horsepower!!

[@mikeythellama]

thats the coolest boat ive ever seen.

[@sergeykopylov652]

Cool boat! I want it!

[@MMMaxCrew]

Put some longitudinal stringers, like round pipe or something for rigidity, then attach a sheet of HDPE or UHMWPE on the bottom for protection from rocks and logs then head up river!

[@ChainsawFPV]

I totally missed you getting screwed with on that other boat. I had wondered what happened to it. Time to put a turbo inboard in one.......

[@TravisLaRoche]

Very well functioning vessel indeed sir

[@gooutsideeveryday2017]

At that length you can legally document with USCG with a ship name and port of call, set sail for international waters.

[@ericthered976]

Do you have another channel that shows the build process? Where did you get that donor section in the middle?

[@paulschena8493]

Bring up the sides & Transom by 4”. Double up some 2” diameter aluminum tubing down each side.

[@c50ge]

Did the Guinness book of world records said it was the worlds longest Jon or are you just saying it? You better hope the game warden don't see this video.

[@marshmellow3110]

Some wings up the sides when you are transporting 20 people again maybe. She was defying the laws of physics at that water line. Lol

[@MikaHusk]

Damn can we get a video on what actually happened with the 200 and court lmfao It was fun to watch while it lasted 🤣🤣

[@guachingman]

Nice john boat, if a tad short and underpowered, wonder how it would handle a little longer

[@leosypher9993]

honestly I would just raise the sides on the rear and call it a day, and honestly I feel like two 25hp engines might turn better than one 50, not sure if you can make it a similar weight though, kinda want it to be as light as possible it would seem

[@mastabugfish]

That thing is begging for a twin jetski setup! Dual jet jon boat!

[@miketee2444]

The Yami or Merc. Triples are easy to get big power out of. All you really need then is a sweet Chopper that will probably cost more than the entire rig. Sounds like my kinda boat already.

[@bleed_from_within_is_life9960]

Another 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide would be a pretty good gator boat Or if i ever get really into commercial cat fishing it would be sick for that too I need to get back into commercial fishing in general So damn fun running slat traps in the pearl

[@ryanpotter427]

If i saw that thing comin my way id be terrified 😂 flying torpedo

[@brianparramore1104]

It needs more transverse reinforcement. Two or three seats riveted into the middle will add much needed rigidity. Add a helm in the middle to even out the load. That will help keep the bow down. Make sure to have life jackets for every person and dog onboard.

[@markspears1167]

“Got a little crazy with the scissors” LOL

[@anajay78]

Needs a Thai long shaft setup.

[@darcysuurhoff7028]

That looks like so much fuckkng fun

This is the start of a dope little house boat

[@WorthyBuzz]

Size definitely matters!!

[@BellahWorks]

Yes make it bigger!

[@marvicty]

I want to see how you guys built it so I can use your ideas to extend my jon boat

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I think increasing the freeboard and/or making it wider would be better than lengthening it again. IDK how wide it is now, but if you make the bottom between 48" and 60" that should make the whole boat pretty darn stable. At 26 feet, though, that'd start to be too much boat for the motor again. I know the point isn't to make something sensible but to do something wild, but still... There is certainly a middle ground if you ask me. IMO, make the sides 31-33" tall, 20" tall transom, 48" wide bottom, reinforced in all directions, do a subfloor with 3-5 inches of pour foam(final floor to rail height of about 28"), drop the length down to 16-18ft, and put a yam 90hp 2 stroke triple on the back with a 13x21 4-blade prop.

[@rcsupercubbuilder]

Here in AK my neighbor has a homemade 31 ft 42inch wide jon boat he made in the 80s, ran a large suzuki 2 stroke on it.

[@aydanrhodes3743]

Needs some float pods on the back. Would definetly help out

[@anarchistangler]

I see on the Amazon they use boats this length standard. But they are sensible, with higher sides.

That’s like upgrading from a single wide to a double wide trailer hell yeah😂
