Great job on the build. They say that a Boat is a Hole in the Water That You Throw Money Into, and that the two happiest days in a boat owners life is when he buys it and then sells it. I've had my 16' Lowe Big Jon with a 40 HP Mercury for 35 years. My boat and trailer in 1986 was $1,000.00. The motor was a 1992 model I paid $2,000.00 for it. We put a floor and pedestal seats in it, two trolling motors and a bilge pump. It's garage kept and looks new. With the price of Jon boats today, I'm so glad I bought it when I did.

I think part of the idea is to take your total and then compare it to the MSRP of those companies that are sells Jon Boats that are already tricked out in a similar fashion as what you have created. The question is, if someone decides they like the job you did on yours, would you be willing to build one for them?

You get what you pay for. If you're happy with it then good. Remember, if you had someone else do the work for you it would cost at least 4-5 times the amount you paid. Plus, you have the satisfaction of doing yourself. And most importantly, you know where everything is and how to fix it. I see set ups not close to yours for sale in my area for a lot more that what you paid for it. Now use it and enjoy it.

Luckily all I have left carpeted. a fish finder and im all done. even though I spent more there is nothing like knowing I did all the work myself and it came out perfect

The build was great. I think the total cost was reasonable for the features and function your build ended up with. With a little more research on where to source all the equipment I think a person could shave a thousand off the total. But I know sometimes you just have to go with what you can find right when your looking for it or projects never get finished. The one thing I don’t remember you listing in the cost of butane. I watched your time lapse of this build and I chocked when I saw all the wire terminations and shrink you were having todo and did all of it with a butane torch. Im curious how many cans or did you spend on butane. lol Im sure that would have paid for multiple heat guns and soldering irons. :-) Congrats on the awesome build!

Key words, did it the way I wanted it. I spent quite a bit on mine also but not that much. My outboard was 75$. Didn't run. Put about 150 in it and now it runs like a top. 20hp johnson. Sad part is the money spent on a build like yours. For that price. Probably could've bought a new bass tracker (panfish type). That's alright though. You'll get many of years of satisfaction fishing out of a boat you made your way. Fish on dude. You forgot registration fees, tags, license on trailer if you have to tag in texas
