My 12ft Jon boat to Tiny Boat Conversions EXPLAINED!!! JonYak Series. TBNation

[@shanepeter1616]

I love seeing where you started, and how you have grown over the years and the progression of refining your craft. Excellent.

[@fireantfishing]

I remember this boat, great build. Glad to see it again!

[@doxjohnson9657]

I think you are a pioneer of something great. I want to spread the word and help people get on the water safely and in the same style. Great stuff bro, keep em coming.

[@MrApostleLee]

Well done, sir! You have to start learning from some point! BTY because of you I will build a 1436 for my grandson and me. Thank you Lee

[@hammer9856]

You've come a long way since then... can't wait to see this new one. And can't wait to see where your design improvements take you in the future.

[@aaroncosentino6377]

Stoked!! Once I seen the first yak killer vid couple months ago, sold the hobie pa 14 and just started my 1236! Thanks for the updates!!

[@wesleywillard]

Good video man. Kudos on having the idea from the ground up and to execute it. Everything starts somewhere.

[@sycamore6065]

I have a 12/36 yakiller, it's in it's 4th year and it's got a wood frame, and it still rocks. Can get skinny and comfortable at the same time. It's bad ass. Things always get better over time. Could mine sink. Yes. But so can all boat's.

[@willyzook]

Man don’t listen to the haters. Most people sit on their butts and never try something that’s challenging. You made some mistakes, but you did it! Nice work!!

[@BlueRidgeMarine]

This is why I subscribed to you, im glad you have great success. You have really grown, but I like the early thoughts. Thumbing Up👍 great video.

[@teaginchild7446]

Awesome video!

[@calvinhandy3969]

I have a tracker topper 1036 I recently finished a conversion after watching this I may have to redo I removed all the foam from my bench eats for more storage andthe only foam I have is in the floor and sides but I did install a bilge pump

[@jacobbueno182]

I remember both those boats!! 🔥

[@jernplays1815]

Marine grade plywood coated in resin lasts a long time alot longer than using OSB and worthit in the end.

[@ermannodibenedetto3064]

Excellent job and explanation...thank u

[@kevingrandke6075]

Use what you have. I used wood in the 14 Starcraft its holding up great! and i got the idea from this exact video.

[@smoovefishing]

Great video I really enjoyed it!

[@AlIsUpOutdoors]

Keep up the good work man!

[@clydedenby1436]

It's important to know the etiology of an idea. JMHO.

[@storypunman]

These mods making going out better, even if the fishing sucks. Lots of toys to play with and test.

[@hellbillyBob]

✌️ awesome ideas , good luck going forward.

[@Scooter1980]

Hello from Arizona.

[@willlosthispigeon324]

Tho toe shoes go hard. Love the content

[@ketolion]

Can these builds be left out in the elements or should they be covered/protected from rain/snow

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

Wtf you think dummy

[@rdelafuente8647]

Nice video, and great project. Do you do any coastal inshore fishing with it ? I've been told that a 12 footer, is too small for coastal inshore fishing.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Most people use Giant yaks for inshore or offshore.

[@rdelafuente8647]

@@TinyBoatNation Yeah, that's what I've heard. Although, I think I'd feel safer in a jon boat, as opposed to a kayak. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kentuckyyankee]

Good stuff, working on my first tiny boat build didn't even know people did this. 😂😂

[@jakefromstatefarm9721]

I think it’s time to expand the TBN to the salt water guys and do a salt specific build. Lots of folks seem to think that putting an aluminum boat in salt water is instant death when they actually fair pretty well when set up and taken care of properly.

[@christojvvuuren8163]

Hi, I think this is awesome, the progress that you have made so far is going to help me with my build. In your opinion what will the ideal size be for a build?

[@davehaag8175]

I think the trend of your style jon boat doesnt take off is because they have to be built vs a kayak you walk into a store and go fishing...i perfer a jon all day over my kayak but im still building my jon.. my yak was ready to roll after purchase and any fishing excessories only added to it

[@helloman4251]

Cool

[@theoduff9517]

It takes time to work it out you have to have a great team to help and understanding with ideas to work on to make it better good planning make a great team remember EACH 1 TEACH 1 TOGETHER 😉

[@krustysurfer]

Tin boater here ❤️👍🎯 aloha

[@kevinr914]

What’s the best shaped boat for a tiny boat?

[@kevinr914]

And length?

[@kevinr914]

Anyone?

[@PiperFishing]

So can I buy an aluminum boat, and pay you to build it up the way I want it?

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice and you don't have 7 & 8' rods stuck up in the air.

[@donniebessette6835]

Love your videos man. Can’t wait to start my first project on my 12ft Smokercraft aluminum boat. Any chance you could shoot me a message with recommendations on your site of what I’d need?

[@donniebessette6835]

I could leave my email if easier

[@AlOdd123]

Would never want a yak.

[@johndavid3114]

You don't understand kayak fishing. Apples and oranges. You don't need to compete with kayaks.

[@Streetlight333]

Don't need to. Already won 🏆 😎
