[QUOTE="jaywest, post: 485505, member: 31419"] Thanks for the response ldubs! Your results are beautiful for sure. Initially, I'm looking to just clean it up from river dirt and leaves and stains, not strip the paint off. I figured a power sprayer would be a good method, but that will likely take off a little paint here and there. Given I'll eventually paint it, maybe that's not a bad thing. Most of the Jon boat mods/conversions I've seen here seem to focus more on turning the jon boat into a fishing platform, and occasionally a hunting platform (duckblind, cammo, etc). While I'd be doing some very limited fishing, mostly I'm interested in turning it into a boat for river floating/camping (take a week float down a small river and stop and camp on gravel bars each day). In that use-case, it's probably more important to optimize storage and tiedown of supplies. Think more along the lines of a survival/prepper boat lol. If anyone has something more along those lines I'd love to see some pics to get ideas. Thanks for any input folks, and I look forward to learning from the folks here! Best, J [/QUOTE]
