Jon Boat Transformation | Full Build | Before and After

Full build video on my Jon boat build. Designed the boat with keeping the ability to gig fish in the fall and crappie, bass, or catfish the rest of the year! I have more in-depth videos on installing the hatches and wiring the switch panel on my channel. Subscribe so you don't miss the next videos coming on this build series with mods and updates!

Great job on the boat. You ready to Goin’ Get ‘Em. Now.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@Sappfarmanddesign]

You did such as amazing job on this renovation.

[@michaelhoneycutt7138]

You done a good job on the boat. The polished aluminum is going to be bright. But nice touch. Green lights help keep bugs down. Smart thinking. I'm little jealous. I just have a 12 foot 5hp. Gets out there. Good to see you taking the kids. I want to take my daughter more, Growing up too fast. Spoonbill season will be here soon. I'm always ready for it. God Bless, and have a good fishing season.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you! Good luck on spoonbill man! I have only one weekend I’ll be able to go but can’t wait to get out there. Be safe out there.

[@michaelhoneycutt7138]

Thanks, you too!.

[@andyc9834]

From a KS to MO dude, nice work! I liked how you used that extra aluminum sheets on the sides. I’ll most likely try to incorporate that on my Jon boat this winter. What all do you gig for in the winter?

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thanks man! We are gigging for suckers and red horse. They make up some great fish frys on the river bank!

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Great Job🎣✌️

[@d-arts7139]

great job. this is more of what im going to do. no welding but well placed and designed aluminum. i just ordered a mellennium seat. i like everything about your build! rodholder, mutli seat options, the paint and etching primer underneath, the floor, the foam removal, the foam addition, ect. that floor will dull soon so no need to worry about that. like the use of carpet too. where did you get all that aluminum? that had to add up. love it man!

[@ajolson2199]

Dude, great work, good editing, really liked this video, keep it up

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

[@sean2148]

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you so much for watching !

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Very cool buddy! Was good to get rid of the extra weight! Going to be awesome!!

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you! Yeah I’m glad I found that waterlogged foam!

[@great0789]

What was the gauge of diamond plate you used for the floor??? Nice build! Very close to what I have in my mind for my Jon I just got.

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Great video bud!👍

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

[@keronackles8327]

Thats good amazing work man hands fown .how much you charge to do one for someone

[@moozarksphotos458]

Another good video. It was interesting all the way through it. I think we need to tag team and do some videos together this year if we're around. We have a Bicycle ride from Iowa to Maine, starting the end of July. Will be cutting into my fishing.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you! Did you go opening day of trout yesterday?

[@moozarksphotos458]

@@Sappwildoutdoors yes we did it was slow fishing, but that was 38 years in a row

[@elitethehawkk1816]

Do you know the weight of the boat? I want to build a boat like that but I want to keep it light enough to just carry it my truck. I don't have space for a trailer. 😅

[@grasser82]

Where did you get that live well?

[@Glensoutdoors637]

Did u paint the bottom of the boat I got me a 16ft flat about 2 weeks ago trying to figure out to paint it good video

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Yes I did go ahead and paint the bottom with the same paint I painted the sides with. Good luck with your new project!

[@Glensoutdoors637]

@Sapp Wild Outdoors how is working out for u I also live in missouri

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

@@Glensoutdoors637 I just put one coat on the bottom. Two might be better. I didn’t like the way the boat looked with an unpainted bottom on the trailer I could could see the first six feet or so of the bottom. (I painted the entire bottom) I also thought maybe a slick shiny paint would reduce friction and help it glide on the water. It has some scratches from pulling it up on gravel bars but I don’t think you can avoid that too much. It has not flaked or peeled. Where are you at in MO? I’m near ft Leonard wood!

[@Glensoutdoors637]

@Sapp Wild Outdoors around Springfield I wish mine had a jet it only has a 6hp Johnson lol

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

@@Glensoutdoors637 my jon boat before this one had an old 5hp Eska motor. No reverse.
