The ultimate Jon boat for catfishing..Jon boat to cat boat!

[@soldtobediers]

Some of the best re-engineering I'd yet to see for a Jon boat.

[@smc65714]

That has to Best jon boat Re build Ever,Clean,Simple Layout,with plenty of Room,and the most thing I like is You didn,t change the Function,It,s still a Jon Boat,not a Bass Boat or Pimp boat,Great Job!!!!

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@johniecornett8975]

Cool setup

[@mldowjr08]

I luv the extended walk area.. removing the bench seat was a great idea..may try that...

[@jameschristian306]

Nice Job, Simple & Clean, I like the wiring on the side console.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@bassman6692]

Wow! EXTREMELY impressive. You should be very proud.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@pntaknta]

A bit late to the show but thought I would comment any how. I just bought a bare bones lowe 1436. I've been browsing the youtubes for ideas. The work you have done is easily the best I have seen. You set the bar pretty high my friend. Definitely gave an old fabricator something to shoot for. Thanks for the post.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you very much

[@pntaknta]

@@hagengrubbsfishing it's funny I hadn't checked out the other comments until I clicked on your reply. Looks like we're all in agreement. Again great job and thanks. Cant wait to get after it.

[@austinpritchett7759]

That’s pretty badass for being as simple as it is!

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@kyredneckoutdoors]

I just got a older jon boat and was looking for ideas on how to set it up when i rebuild it. your set up looks like just what i'm looking for thanks for making this video

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Austin Davidson glad that it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@steveford5763]

Just told a friend all the jon to bass boats are the same. I will call him back and tell him I was wrong. Love it, especially removing the center seat.....maybe add a few more rod holders, haha

[@UncleHarley]

You'll like that lighter color better than dark when the summer sun beats on it. Anyhow, the rigs looking great Hagen! Tight Lines brother.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Harley Neal yea that’s true.. thanks

[@tomdadisman1400]

I think that bait tray is my favorite part. Great idea and awesome boat!

[@Marley48]

I like the way you got your boat rigged. Those float pods make a big difference with these little Jon boats! Good job!

[@jasondill5372]

Nice build man! I like how open everything is. Plenty of fishin’ room

[@topcityhotpeppers3927]

I like it my brother. It turned out good. Way to go. Thank you for the video. Have a good evening.

[@gradyg4366]

As far as the color of your floor goes, it does make it easy to see everything at a glance. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Good job!

[@ronmiller682]

You did a hell of a job on the boat. Great job. Nice clean work .

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@lildaddymc.1502]

Very nice set up you got on your boat

[@casonbedford3683]

Dude this boat is sickkkk I’m gonna give this a shot.

[@seanpottier]

I really like that little electronics console cool idea

[@rolexmd69]

Cool little boat dude. I like the light grey

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@acalltofaithbook]

Fantastic job! Would love to see a video on how you installed your switch panel and electrical box.

[@The_hungry_hunter]

I second that motion

[@kentyler966]

First time seeing this. Very nice build. I like a boat to be practical and tuff enough to sit outside. I wish I had a garage to store mine but I don’t.

[@jamesdilts277]

Nice job, I really dig the rod holders in the back, good Idea.

[@WNCOutdoors86]

Man that is one major upgrade! Makes me wanna give my Jon a makeover lol

[@jasonjordan9145]

A weekend project hahaha. Glad I'm not the only one. Awesome job.

[@iwantosavemoney]

I really like this set up I like the tiller handle for the out board so no console wasting space for steering wheel and minimal electric very compact saves space. Very neat for sure

[@rickolsson2376]

What an inspiring build! Thanks for sharing the ideas an the great results!

[@benniewhite6626]

Hagen Grubbs fishing miss my Boston Whaler build but hope to do a 18-19’ Mako. Great inspiration again!!!!

[@jboulet07]

Thank you for doing this video, I plan to buy a new 19' Smoker-craft flat bottom boat next month and these are some good ideas on what I want to put on it. I live in New Hampshire but I plan to bring the boat south in the winter months...because I'm not a big fan of ice fishing.

[@bowagoner9877]

Very clean good job.

[@SuperPlastered]

Now, that is a nice, clean, and cheap setup! Way to go! I'm going to do similar to mine. Sometimes simple is best! 👍

Nice job 👍🤠🎣

[@alexbell9196]

this looks like a grwt setup for my needs. im looking for a fishing/duck hunting setup. i dont want a bass boat layout like i see all over youtube i want the big open floor like youve got going on. i may do a catwalk down one side instead of the cupholder box uve got but the front deck looks about perfect. was thinking maybe just leaving a 45qt roto cooler for a back seat, i could move it around if need be and free up even more space.

[@LemonRiverOutdoors]

Nice looking boat!
