Brought home another boat.....

[pbw]

You know me, I see a boat I buy a boat. Found a tracker 1236 Jon boat, owner purchased it new and didn’t use it, I call that abuse! So It’s in good hands now. :mrgreen:

Plans? To show all my kayak loving friends that Jon boat always wins in the end. I really just plan to fish and make little mods but keep it light weight to toss on the roof of the car or in bed of the truck.

Couple short videos I made. (Normal link plus youtube)

I like that electrical box. How much amperage can those two prong connectors carry? I’ve got them on my charger and my motorcycle, but it never occurred to me to use one for a battery disconnect on a trolling motor.

They come as a pair with a small 6 inch length wire attached. They come in different gauge wire, ones I have are 8 gauge.

Okay I took the boat out to test stability. I took extra big batteries for weight and tried to see how weight affected the boat. I almost tripped and fell out the boat. :LOL2:

How stabil is the boat or how stabil is a guy that jumps around in one?
During the Lacy Peterson documentary the defense showed it would be impossible for the husband to dump the body out of a small tin with out tipping it over. Even the wife said that's bull and only a fool or drunk would tip a 12' boat sliding a 100 pound body off the side.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Bodies go off the bow or stern....

I didn’t know that.

I am just trying to get large bass to come into the boat any way I can get them. :|

I purchased a set of Led marine lights and put on the old ion boat.

Worried about other boats seeing me near the ramp, hate the time change!
