Stripping the Jon Boat Down and Leak Testing the Hull

The projet begins. Stripping down the boat and testing the hull for water leaks to see if it is sea worthy.

I always read “if she holds water she’ll probably keep it out!” Great video! I’m working on a 14 foot aluminum V hull. Just did the same test this weekend. Subscribed!

That’s a great philosophy!!! Thanks for the subscribe. I am always looking for tips tricks and ideas. Have fun with your boat. That’s what this channel is all about! Doing it your way, learning from everyone, and having fun!

I did my jon the same way but made the mistake of filling it all the way up in my shop and then went to move it out to drain and the trailer was sitting on the tire and i had to drag it out with the tires skwalling😂. Looking forward to seeing more!

LOL!! I can imagine! Even with what water I had in this one it started to squat a good bit. Hey, at least you can be confident you have a strong trailer and axle!!!

Hi There - really keen to watch this series of vids - can you add this to a playlist so its easier to follow please :) just had to search the next vid from the intro vid and not easy to find... thanks

Appreciate the comment. We have a playlist ultimate Jon boat build that has 6 videos as of today. We are adding to it weekly since we are still in the build process. Thanks again for the feedback.

@@FunnerToDoIt Ok thanks - strange because when i look there isnt any playlist - i can see - the following playlists: Bass Raider 10e, cooking and snacks, parks and camps and biking and trail adventures... No Jon Boat Built 🤔
