I bought the CHEAPEST JON BOAT I could find on FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE!!! . Subscribe for More! . Follow My Socials! Instagram - @jtreacts_ Twitter - @jtreacts_ TikTok - @jtreacts_
I would flood the base of the boat before floating it, to see if water leaks out instead of leaking in when in the water, I imagine you eventually buying a little lake full of fish then hiring out your fleet and offer a fishing experience, You can also have a shop with your baits too :)
At night place a torch inside the upturned boat then with chalk circle any light that you can see through the hull this is the easiest and best way of finding leaks
Picked up a 1652 lowe from 1976 for $250 the other day. I feel like it was a steal. Its beat up a bit, but not bad for a 50 year old boat. Plus i work in sheet metal so some.bent aluminum doesnt scare me 😅
Good to see you back JT, a couple of 2X4 running from seat to seat will give you all the support you need on the front deck,,carpet the floor as well, make it so much quieter
I'm so impressed by how much of that you got done in one day! If I had a dollar for every tape measure I had to buy because I couldn't find one, I'd have enough to buy about a dozen more, so maybe I'd be able to find one of them...🤣
Nice deal for sure! I am going to pickup a 14ft aluminum v boat with a trailer and 9.9 horse outboard for 500$ tomorrow, planning on doing the same conversion to mine!
JT I enjoy your outside channel just as much as your other channels. As already suggested, turn the SS Lizzie into a gorgeous bed of beautiful colourful flowers 💐 I'm looking forward to your next Outside vlog, maybe it will be of you taking Anna for a romantic Valentines meal 😉
I know this is a older video but I got a trailer last year around the same time for a little kayak and I painted it up nicely and put new lights and all on it and I bought the same thing when it came to the wrong wiring thing I felt like a idiot. Good video i enjoyed it. Maybe I can build my john boat now who knows 🤷♂️
I love DIY building and any type of craft projects. Your boats always look awesome. 😊. Where I am in the UK, it keeps yo yoing between high of 10 degrees Celsius to - 5 degrees Celsius. Only had 2- days of snow so far but it instantly melted lol. Xx
Thought i was doing good but you might have me beat, found me a 12 foot fiberglass vhull with a trailer, motor that needs a tune up, and a trollin motor mount for 500 bucks total gonna seal the whole thing before i put it in the water and set it up with a deck to fish off and a Bimini for the wife to chill under
I'm seriously asking because I want to know for when I build mine. What are you gonna do when it rains whether it be while you're hauling it or whatever.. as soon as that osb gets wets your floors is ruined and you'll step right through it??
JT, thought you should know that a scammer is offering prizes in you name complete with your photo for best comment on your other RU-vid channel. They are asking for money to cover shipping costs....
