Today, I go over my little 14ft Jon boat that I turned into a mini bass boat! This is a 14ft Gregor Aluminum boat that I received back in 2020 and this little rig has been amazing for me! Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram....

This goes to show that you don't need that 20k to get on the water. Love the setup and ingenuity, Geoff! Keep sticking them biggins!

20? or 200 lol?
@C_H_U_2 ай бұрын
No one ever said you need 20k. Only broke people say this kinda thing and cant get by. I currently run a 14ft canoe with a $100 trolling motor. Stop making excuses and just go out there and have fun.

I love that with not only the number but the caliber of fish that you catch, no one gives a damn if you did it from a 100k Bass Cat or a 3k Gregor. I positive there are dudes that would probably trade their fancy boat for yours in a minute if they could do what you do with big bass!! Love it man!! Thanks for the breakdown!!

Nice Rig Geoff! 👍 Seems every inch was designed with thought, it reminded me of Butches boats he built. No frills, no non-sense, just fishability! Great minds think alike…….. 🎉

You must have read my mind, I was going to text you about your set up and how I should go about building mine. Perfect.
@HarmoFishing2 ай бұрын
Seems like you need to Re Prop the motor and will get you more top end, If you go stainless will get more grip and less cavitation under turns and pitch up prop shouldn't lose any holeshot and just gain top end speed :)

LOL hilarious when you called the john-boat a death trap. That is keeping me away from a 16-ft grizzly, I like that those don't have carpet, you easily place rubber mats and even wash it when it's dirty.

Nice Rig, Geoffrey! Thanks for sharing your boat with us all. More proof that expensive rigs are not required for trophy bass hunters!

Hindsight 20/20, as a friend I would've suggested just sticking with the trolling motor as your main mode of transportation if you're getting that much life out of it and if you can still get to some spots (maybe not all of your spots) and continue to save. Good thing a change of prop and/or motor height can help with the speed issue. Also would've added the extra weight for padding on the front deck. Cool build either way. Oh yea, moving to say a 45" shaft trolling motor will only be more of a nuisance when stowed and give you an extra 2-3" in the water. It's a pain to raise them when you need to go shallow and cumbersome if you're flipping.

I've a 14 aluminum boat as well, the same 15hp Tohatsu 4 stroke that you own, a 55lbs foot pedal motorguide and 2 Garmin striker 7, the one in the console it's a side view model and both are connected to share waypoints and routes.

Dude this gives me hope. I am an older dude but can't afford a full bass boat and yearly managing it. Also my Edge may be able to tow that. I been wanting to do this. i don't want to do the bigger standing kayak, too afraid to pull a Griff and loose all my megabass rods and gear.

Another really fun video, Geoff. Thanks for the walkthrough. I love that it’s a humble, reliable boat. My trolling motor just went out and I replaced it with an old Motor Guide. Do you know of any videos that show the button repair you’re talking about?

On my 1436 flat bottom jon... with a 2006 9.8 Tohatsu.... and me (215 lbs), my son, and my daughter (90 lbs ea)... I am able to get about 18.5mph with a 9 pitch prop. That is with the 55lb trolling motor and 100AH lithium up front as well. I wonder if all you need is a prop change/motor trim adjustment??? What width is your hull? I bet I could get around 23 to 25mph with just me in there. Not sure though. Nice fishing platform! Thank you for sharing it.
