Bought a 1436 and want to do very similar project. The boat does need a set of new paint. Should I paint the interior first and then start building the frames for the deck etc.? And should I build the floor afterwards?
Great build! I’d like to send you some pictures of a jon boat I built for my nephew. But, I’m old and don’t know how I’d do it. And btw, that’s a pretty fancy hot glue gun😊
Damn! That went from looking like the Jon boat behind your grandpa's garage to something celebrities would pay way too much money for 💪💪💪
Hey Jon Boats – nice work. Really like this kinda stuff.
Question – why use all rivets and kits – What about TIG welding Al plate instead?
Just found your channel…bro you're not only a true craftsman but the neighbor and friend I wished I had. Great job on the build….tight lines and happy hunting….lifetime subscriber here brother!
Would you be willing to build another one like it, I have a 1542 and want it built just like this, plus float pods
Anyone that has to reinforce his manhood so often makes me wonder… I guess that’s about what we’d expect from an LSU fan. But, I mean, I’m still subscribing.
You mean to tell me that I coulda been watching girls twirk!? 😂
That's really sick looking boat nice work
Dude you are hilarious!! Keep doing you because you’re killing it!
Your video is awesome and may help to keep my marriage! As my husband is Telling me what he's going to do with my tiny boat!
Thank you! I wanted more than plywood! Looking forward to watching it again.
Your boat builds are definitely awesome. But the comments you make about every piece you put in is almost as good! Definitely going to subscribe and look forward to future videos.
Hay, tampons come in handy if you cut yourself
It turned out awesome bro looks awesome nice work
Did you have a lot of flex in the boat after set removal
If you see this, could you please tell me how wide are the catwalks on the side? I would like to make them a little wider for places to sit. Thanks for a great channel, SEND IT!!!!!!!!
By hand? Not with that big ass tool. Try a literal hand rivet tool. The glue on your beard would melt and your butthole would get all wet from all the man stuff you just touched
A lot of work done! But I like the result. I made a natural camouflage for the boat and garden furniture. It looks great too. Already posted the video.
Great set-up
Where’d you get your trailer at though
Instead of buying 5 hss drills. Go to like a Menards and buy their cobalt steel drills. Maybe use a tad of wd 40 for cutting lube too for longevity.
Great build like to c more q&a videos
Boat looks good! Next time at Harbor Freight pick up a pair of hand seamers ( hand brake), give those channel locks a break, just saying. Good job!
Do you have any experience with backwater mud motors?
Legend!
You got a new subscriber for sure mah dude!
In all seriousness great video.
Cheers
This was sick and nicely done. curious how many benches were in it originally and if the lack of benches is noticeable on the water with stability
Boat is badass
Just acquired an old Jon boat
Going to do something similar
Good job
how is this the first time I've seen your channel? great content, you should have used cast iron for your boat build, everyone knows cast iron is the best build material
I have watched many of your videos, but you just are too chatty cathy on this one for me.
I think it’s funny how these guys grow a beard and wear a flannel shirt and think that makes them a man. You’re so Insecure because of your little tiny wee wee that you always have to talk about being a man. I know you and those hillbilly friends get together and circle jerk on the regular.
bad ass dude. i just bought 1648 xpress boat w a 15hp tiller motor & i wanna put a bigger front deck on it.
I really enjoyed it buddy. You rock! And you’re hilarious.
