Lightest Jon boat framing, ultra-portable | Yak Killer 2.0

Used some ideas from you on my ice fishing jet sled. Good practice for my project boat this spring.

[@andylimb]

What is an ice fishing jet sled?!? You have my attention.

[@tbnationoutdoors-nateeckhold]

Looking good man. Those hinges worked out perfectly

[@cmatix1008]

Heyo! I actually live Not far from you over in Bloomington and heard about you a while back through Courtland. I just tore out the flooring from my sea nymph.. so I'm going to have a fun project this winter. Love you guys is working ideas! Keep it up and thank you

[@paulgustavsen3858]

I watch all kinds of DIY stuff all day. Your projects are by far the most impressively intricate and well-done. I will never even attempt something like this, but I love watching you do it.

[@noahdboss1195]

you should do detachable transom wheels for truck bed storing and solo moving

Picking up a 19ft starcraft center console.... Been loving these vids

[@chrisroberts3963]

You’ve come around to Cleco’s! 👍 Here is another one for you - to keep the 5200 off your skin use some Kodak Photo-Flo 200. You dip your finger in it and it forms a barrier for a short time so you can touch 5200, caulk, or silicone without it sticking to your finger.

[@davesmith7906]

What’s the tool you’re using to cut the aluminum at 17:54 in? I can't seem to find it on your site? Great stuff btw!

[@castingwithcarson2273]

Yes another video keep up the great work!!!

[@noahdboss1195]

about to start building a 1236, cant wait to use some of your ideas on mine!

[@charlesschulte8099]

Your videos and products have motivated me to rehab a 16 ft Jon I realize that you guys are big into the bass fishing aspect but my goal is to use this boat primarily for bow fishing so I will need a shooting deck/knee rail/series of flood lights/and dead well for large snakeheads in addition to most of the other aspects of your builds I would love to see you do a project along these lines Bowfishing is becoming very popular here in the east and I’m sure that there are lots of people that could benefit from your knowledge and experience

[@MartinBarreraOro]

Great solution and designs again🙌🙌🙌

[@TinyBoatNation]

Glad you like them!

Who got mad about the yak killer 😂 thats the best name ever

[@adrianalvarado7407]

What did you do for the deck?

[@BassBrothersFishingDMV]

I just started a 1232 myself. Awesome Vid.

[@smoovefishing]

I really like the way the wires was ran in this boat, you don’t have to worry about trying to get another wire in a tube incase you have to run some new wire down the road

[@deadmanbasslord3156]

The tin bass yak. Can’t wait to see it finished. Awesome work brother

[@paul.aragon]

Quite a project. Looks like an efficient build. Are those golf putter rod separators you are using for the rod locker tubes? Do you have the link for those?

[@jadams820]

Do you have a good full video of doing the side rails?

[@jadams820]

@@TinyBoatNation are the side rails pop riveted in place

[@hammer9856]

Any plans (or room!) for a live well in this build? Love all the storage. Your builds just keep getting better.

[@fryreartechnology7611]

Someday you need to go buy a boat new and kit it out. Like one of them Academy Sport boats. Think I seen somebody kinda do it but they got a 15’ v haul flat bottom which was not a basic boat. Love the builds!

[@cmatix1008]

Nice work man... Let's get we had to have it I just gutted my old 16 ft... What size rivets do you use mainly? And I'm going to order some of those cleco holders too

[@wojciechkostelnik2357]

Hello, what thickness of aluminum angles you used

[@davehaag8175]

Question do you feel with seats fully removed there is enough support?

[@ronjones1414]

You talked about bucking rivets. Cherrylocks are more expensive, but the labor savings is unbelievable. Stronger than most bucks and install just like pop rivets.

[@ronjones1414]

@@TinyBoatNation www.cherryaerospace.com/. I have been watching your videos, and actually don't think Cherry is for you. You CANNOT instal these without an air compressor (I've tried.) With a compressor and the right gun, they are stupid fast and atmosphere tight (as in, air doesn't come through the hole when your flying.) Love what you're doing, my medium is wood, but I'm incorporating some of your ideas into my dory build.

[@HookedOnFishingTV]

Could you essentially have a live well instead of the extra storage space? On a 12ft jon boat?

[@TinyBoatNation]

It adds a lot of extra weight but yes. I didn't add 1 because of the extra wight issue

[@chandlerfrog09173]

Clitko are made for Aircraft building kit. Awesome vids man.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thanks!

[@chrisallen3741]

Id like to see the finish product

Are you thinking of getting the new m18 rivet gun?

What would be the best 14-16'haul to start one of these builds for the great lakes?

[@bitenbass]

Loving this series man great work as always

[@paddleandhook]

Really sweet set up. Cant wait to see how it turns out :)

[@scottespy6602]

How thick was the spacer

[@deadmanbasslord3156]

Honest question. Would it be more or less weight if you had a mig or tig welder and welded it all ? Or so little difference it ain’t worth it ... ?

[@madknacker]

In your opinion what’s the smallest boat you would convert for an individual that weighs ~300 pounds?

[@steelkatz9750]

This thing is awesome but for any offshore saltwater use I would choose a yak any day

[@justincorne654]

So beginner here- what saw are you using ro cut your aluminium? And what eivir hin are you using? Thanks. Just room apart my aluminium boat tha5 jad all rotten wood inside. Full of carpenter ants. Ugg. I waa foung to redo with wood but really want to use aluminum. Im hust intimidated because Ive only really ever worked with wood.

I have a 14' starcraft I wanna no how to begin in my subfloor and keep a water drain down the middle, Can you guide me with something ?

[@bradmaas6875]

Nice, very nice

[@TheGoatMumbler]

I'm afraid to ask the costs of all that aluminum.

[@GregHastings]

Epic !!!

[@stackzoverheaddoors454]

This may seem stupid but I would like to see a sink test on a boat built like this go to a shallow area maybe 3’ deep and see how much water it can take before sinking

[@robberlin2230]

Glad you finally moved to full aluminum over those plastic tubs. Last step is to dump those rivets and get onto compression rivets dude, solid rivets like in airplane frames, no leaks, all aluminium, cheap and soooo fast and strong, cmon, make the switch

[@fireantfishing]

Woah, this is going to be sweet

[@issacgonzalez8362]

Man I would love to just come help you on a build to fully understand what’s going on before I start one!

[@dogemoutdoors7938]

If you take a soap and water solution and dip your fingers in it and then touch the 520, It won’t stick on you!

[@paul.aragon]

to save some more weight, have you considered not putting rod tubes and creating a rod channel like what are on the new skeeter boats? see the video at minute 13:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqWqZWCn9dknZY&lc=UgxTgNnr4p-kyTIQGOl4AaABAg.9J-m279u1mg9J-n7S53gYJ
