Must Have JON BOAT Modifications, Upgrades & Setup - 6 Month Review

[@ppppogoopiu9933]

Great man , I’m 15 years old and made enough money to buy a Jon and to put a couple upgrades and paint. You help me pick what and where I should add things thank!!,

[@fishingistherapy]

Great stuff. Glad the video and my mods helped you out. Definitely appreciate you watching!

@ChrisSmith-em5vv I definitely will, been a great journey, im learning and will learn so much. I appreciate you watching!

[@christophergallavan2590]

I like what you did. It is funny when you get the boat, then comes all the great ideas, and then you run out of room quickly. You maximized your space very well.

[@fishingistherapy]

Thanks. Yeah before purchasing my boat I saw that maximizing space was a common problem. I was very careful with my mods to avoid this issue. I like how it turned out. Thanks for watching!.

I knew I loved ya when I saw the clever usage of the Milk Crate!! I've used them for garage storage for the last 30 years. Great Job on the boat man.

I just found this video, been thinking about getting a jon boat but kicking ideas about making it leisure as well as fishing. Love this boat of yours.

[@fishingistherapy]

I had the sane thoughts, which is why I decided to build my boat the way I have. Glad I did it, I enjoy my boat as well as my family. I'm glad you like my boat and appreciate you watching. I would go for it, if you can't find sufficient reasons why you shouldn't.

Dude, you did an awesome job. Great little things like clips that keep cooler in place is very thoughtful. Always impressed with people who maximize the space they have. Helps to make a day on the water more like Zen. I'd definitely put your Fishing Is Therapy logo on the boat. What a cool name, because fishing is therapy. Tight lines.

Excellent tips - thank yo! I am just about to get started so this was a good start.

[@fishingistherapy]

Awesome, glad the content is going to be helpful to you!

[@mrkmkr99]

Really nice job on that boat! You've given me some good ideas for mine. Having the Garmin monitor on a pivot, mid boat is a winner. I have the seats you use and they really are worth the extra money. Right now my biggest problem is I can't get a day of wind speeds under 20 mph! I'd be curious to know the windiest conditions you'll fish.

[@fishingistherapy]

Glad the content and boat mods have found value for you. Yes that pivotal mount is a game changer. Until I get spotlock the widest I have fished was about 20mph because it is hard to anchor properly. How about you?

[@iowamatt2519]

That is crazy spacious with all you have done. Nothing beats a Jon boat

[@iowamatt2519]

I added a 3 foot track for my bimini so I could adjust it forward and rear, also is the same as a T track which allowed me to add Rail Blaza mounts

[@fishingistherapy]

I like that track idea. How did you fit it on the Curved gun Wales? I think I may try that out.

[@iowamatt2519]

@@fishingistherapy Mine has a 2 inch flat gunnel on it, but they also sent me brackets to mount vertically as well

[@fishingistherapy]

Yeah I have to find a way around the rounded gunwales.

[@martinbeville7295]

Move the pivot mounts further back as far as you need with someone on the other side helping you, mark and mount where you need them.. you can then either fill the small holes touch them up with factory touch up paint, or get flush plugs that will fit them, been there done that, love them jon boats, good luck, Martin

[@brassteeth3355]

Great video. You're right about the therapy, you know.

[@fishingistherapy]

Thanks Brass teeth. Yes indeed. I think fishing and being outdoor is a high level of therapy. Just getting on the water brings so much peace.

[@kentyler966]

How’s the Bimini top working for you’re the passenger fisherman? If your fishing on the front deck it’s fine but in the back aren’t the Bimini aluminum rods constantly in your way of casting a rod?

[@fishingistherapy]

Overall it works very well. My passengers have enjoyed it especially on those hot day's. So far no fading, and the quick release tabs make taking it on and off easy, but I just keep it on. The rods are in the way when underneath it, but I stand on my casting platform in the back to avoid the rods . Small price to pay for the comfort it provides.

[@mlm32809]

Great job! I love the setup of your boat and I’ve gotten a few ideas from this. A solar panel mounted atop your Bimini would help run your trolling motor.

[@fishingistherapy]

That would be cool. I have no idea where to start for that or where to put it when it's stored. But that's a idea to consider

[@francisstraughniii2473]

Just seen your video it's great got a G3 I'm getting ready to setup what's the price of those seats. Following from south jersey.

[@fishingistherapy]

Thanks appreciate you checking out the Channel. Shout out South Jersey!!! And those G3's are reliable. The millennium boat seats if you catch a sale at Tacklewarehouse.com you czn find them for $90 each but I paid around $120 for each seat. I know that's expensive but I do not regret it.

Will use some of your ideas if you don’t mind but I will try to keep this boat as light as possible. Really sweet video, Fish On!

Bruv, any suggestions for a no-motor drift boat able to withstand the Gunnison in CO?

[@fishingistherapy]

If you are looking for a jon boat, it's hard to beat a weldbilt or allweld boat. If you will be hitting rockns and etc, I love to have a weldbilt vs a riveted which is a nightmare once it starts leaking, which it will eventually leak. For stability I wouldn't go with less than a 1442 if you are walking around or plan to have other passengers.

Yeah I got out of California. It was becoming something I didn't recognize. Thanks I'm planning to get the logo soon, appreciate the insight. I'm currently editing a speed test video but with two people I haven't tested it, but by myself, anywhere between 24-26. But it all depends on the weight of the second passenger and what load I'm carrying as well as propeller. My boats recommended weight capacity is 3 persons or 350lbs. Stay tuned, I will be posting an in-depth speed test video soon.

[@fishingistherapy]

Thanks I tried to lay it out in the most efficient way for my style of fishing. Appreciate you checking out the boat!

[@QSA10]

I gotta tell you! You need a chain on top of your boat anchor so it will lay down to grab, found this out last year, I use a 5lb grappling anchor. On a 16ft modded v, holds me in good current! Make sure to attach to the bottom of the anhor vs top so you can use a cheap zip tie to hold onto the top hole on the anchor(ment to snap off when stuck), 4ft of chain really helps!

[@fishingistherapy]

That's great insight will definitely implement that tip. Your right about that. Appreciate you sharing!

[@briangullickson9013]

I’ll second the chain just above the anchor and add a tip.. mark the rope about 5 feet from the chain by painting, tying a small loop or knot so you’ll know when the chain is almost at water level during retrieval. It’ll help prevent you from rubbing your chain or anchor into the side of boat. @fishingistherapy

I'm a kayak angler for 7 yrs now but considering getting a John boat so when friends family visit I can take them out fishing for we can take it & my pedal drive yaks. Is that biggest motor you can put on a 14' flat bottom? Or is that all u could really need? What's top 3 upgrades you feel couldn't go without after having them?

[@fishingistherapy]

Hey Max. You can put up to a 50 if I'm not mistaken. Most people go is usually a 40. But 20hp is fine for me. I don't get in to much of a rush. By myself I get 28-29 with a 10 pitch prop. With 3 people I have seen 21mph and 4 people around 13-14 based on weight distribution. But all in all the 29 is plenty, but if i ever upgraded woukd do a 30 but i dont think its necessary, I get around very well. Top 3 would have to be spot lock trolling motor, fish finder and the millennium boat seats. If I add 2 more it would be the no drill tackle web cup holder/storage pouches and bimini top for hot days.

OK I have a 2 year update video premiering today at 6:30. To see how it looked when I bought it there is an older video on my channel you would appreciate when I purchased it.

Thanks John. It has been a blast modifying this boat. Turned out better than I imagined.

I really like the seats w/the mesh!

[@fishingistherapy]

Best seats on the market in my opinion. Warm enough is the colder months and cool in the hot months. Thanks for watching.

[@davidpatterson8151]

Do you have a link for those seats? They look awesome. Thanks and great work

how well do those cup holders hold drinks in the chop? i like how they aren’t bulky

[@fishingistherapy]

I wouldn't purchase any other cup holder...I love them...I have my phone in them...a drink and whatever I want to toss in them. Good investment. Didn't want to drill holes.

[@mikeprater6651]

That cell phone mount that you have. Do you know if it will fit an iPhone 12

[@fishingistherapy]

Yes it will, I checked Amazon link to confirm.
