    NEW JON BOAT OWNER! HELP!

    So I just picked up the boat. It's a Generation III 1232 with a transom mount older small Minn Kota 35A, two hard swivel seats that clip on to the bench seats, two oars, and an anchor. Is this worth keeping and modding or should I sell it to trade up?

    Another open question, I've noticed several people on here have painted cheap truck bed liner on to their hulls, both interior and exterior. What advantages do you gain? I understand you would gain grip on the interior but is it used on the exterior just as a durable paint/sealant?

    Awesome! Do you have more luck at night or during the day? Any particular time of year that you go or year round? Any tips? Sorry to keep bugging you with questions.

    That video looks awesome! Two questions though. What is the metal sounding thing y'all are hitting at the beginning of the video? And what kind of bow do you recommend, just a cheap one setup for bowfishing or something specific?

    Thanks! I'm definitely gonna have to do some controlled testing to see how much it can be "pushed" before I take it out bow fishing. Am I correct in understanding that outriggers like that basically sit out of the water except when they are needed to stabilize (weight on one side or the other)...

    Country, I am planning on standing to draw. Should be about the same type of movements as you would do when duck hunting. Do you always hunt by yourself or have you tried this with a buddy? Me and a friend of mine (I'm 220 lbs and he's about 240 lbs) are wanting to bow fish and I'm concerned...

    If it posts, there should be a pic of a boat with the type of stabilizers I'm referring to. They run the length of the hull and appear to be attached to the side. The design seems to prevent it from tipping over too far. Anyone ever tried something like this before? Got the pic off Craigslist.

    NEW JON BOAT OWNER! HELP!

    I've recently been given a 12' flat bottom aluminum jon boat that I believe is the standard width (36"). My buddy changed jobs and the house they moved in to has no room for boats. So to cut to the chase, I got a boat for the cost of dinner and a drink the next time I see him. Only problem, I've...
