Jon Boat Restoration project Project

[FratFishing]

I ended up grabbing an old 12 ft. jon boat to start working on. I will keep this updated showing what I have done and what I am doing.

Starting Out



Since these Pictures I have:
- Removed that "trolling motor mount"
- Sanded down all the loose paint
- Removed all nuts and bolts
- Added 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of camo tan paint.
- I have also sprayed the rear handles with a flex rubber coating for a better grip.

I will post those pictures later today or tomorrow.

Whats to Come:
- Replace Transom
- Paint the inner hull with a flexible rubber coating
- Stencil/Paint camo on top of tan
- Add a 4 ft. deck with a spot for a cooler
- add 2 camo swivel seats
- Add a couple reel mounts
- Paint the bottom with a sound deadening scratch proof coating
- Last but not least find the right outboard

Nice start. Can't wait to see the pics.

I don't know man: That trolling motor mount is pretty sweet! LOL!

I have now sprayed the bottom with a flex seal like coating and pulled out the old transom



And this is it painted tan
