Just post it here, and Jim will add it to the list.
 
Please place under Jon Boats

Here is my mod of a 1648 aluminium Polar Kraft with modified V and flat bottom Jon boat into a 4 passenger Bass boat with lots of pictures. Almost done. Need to carpet the plywood panels, install trolling motor and outboard, then launch just in time to take her out of the water.

183861_10150427544965201_6617130_n.jpgOk so iv finally gotten time to relax and post my little project on here. first thing i did was create a bow platform to be able to fish off of and mount a bow mount trolling motor. after I cut the boards and made the flooring. My main concern going into this project was I want to be able to make all this and at the same time make it easily removable for storage. Every board including the bow platform (except the boards on the benches i permanently installed them) is easily pulled out for cleaning and storage because I don't have room in my garage for a boat. Later in the year after i completed my project i purchased the minn kota bow mount and the quick release bracket which some days i love and some days i want to kill it lol! finally fall of 09 my local bass pro shop was having a sale on their 9.9 mercurys for 1800 which i couldnt pass! the only sad part was it took them all the way to june 2012 to get me one! So for those who are interested iv got a modded tracker 1436 complete with 55lb thrust minn kota stern mount trolling motor (which i use when i fish the chattahoochie) the 45lb thrust bow mount minn kota with a 9.9 mercury. these motors are honestly MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER!! The trailer is from nothern tool which i got on sale for about 400 if i remember correctly. i would have to say the only downside to the trailer is you have to put it together yourself! but 3 hrs later and a 12pk in youve got yourself a wonderful little trailer and save yourself about 400 bucks! also its all connect by nuts and bolts which is ok but i went ahead and welded all the seams to have a more durable trailer. if thats something your interested in the cheapest way i recommend is call your local collision center and ask them if they would be interested in doing a little side job theyll probably only charge about fifty bucks to do it and in my opinion is worth it! I couldnt be any happier with my very fist boat/project! below i added a link to my youtube video i posted with everything on the boat so you can see how she drives! I hope you guys enjoy! (yah i know the steelflex looks like crap lol i hear really great things about it but it didnt work out for me on the river like i wish it had and im currently in the process of removing it from the bottom of my boat and searching for an alternative)

all projects updated in the first post! :beer:

If I missed one or want to add yours, post JUST the link here and I will get to it.

If your project is a work in progress and you have not done anything to it in awhile (money, Weather, no time) Please at least update your post so the readers know you have not fallen off the planet.


Also if you come along an old post with the pictures/links missing, send me a PM so I can either try to fix it or remove it. I don't want this resource to become stale.

Thanks Guys! :beer:
