In May of 2019 I bought my first boat. It was great and worked, but I always wanted to tweak it some. So in February 2021 when I got hurt surfing, I dove into remodeling my Jon Boat into a custom saltwater skiff. It took me 212hrs to finish it, and in this video I break down the entire build, including a time lapse of the whole process.
I couldn't be more stoked to be back on the water, on something I created myself. I hope you enjoy!

The Boat Build that inspired my setup! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bH-FGdgFGdg.html Go Follow Anthony Jones for some epic Jon Boat build outs.

I appreciate that this project because you're excited about doing something new that you didn't know how to do. Yeah, you made some mistakes, but it feels like the spirit of RU-vid DIY.

I’ve watched a ton of Jon boat rebuild videos and like 50% of the people say they owe everything to Anthony Jones haha. The other 50 prob do too but they don’t say it. Guy has some incredible videos. Gives up all the info and his story is really inspiring.

Plus, it is really hard to get square hatches to seal. If you want watertight hatches on a little boat like that, look into Valley Canoe Products rubber hatches and rims. Sea kayak hatches.

This is something I must consider building (or having built). As a larger guy with bad knees kayaks just aren't something I am fond of. The Kaku Zulu Hybrid was on my short list. But this would be exactly what I want for mangrove fishing and transport to and from my saltwater wade fishing spots. I have 1236 jon in the back that could use an upgrade.

Ótimo projeto. Ficou muito bom. Parabéns! Quais as medidas dele??

@reowhite4862 Год назад

I used to paint cars for a living. Your paint failed not because of the paint but because you have to use a direct to metal primer designed for aluminum first. We found that out in the mid 2000's when ford started putting aluminum hoods on trucks and the paint pealed triggering a factory recall. Every bodyshop in town was full up with trucks that needed the hoods fully stripped and repainted. What did we learn? You need a specific primer to go on bare aluminum. Hope that helps!

@brettbarley Год назад

so I used direct to metal aluminum paint... but I think in hindsight now examining it post-paint peel years later... I don't think I sanded it at all, or well enough at the very least. the guy who I copied from had great success... so for sure user error on my end. not the paint.

@reowhite4862 Год назад

You can make your oilbased paint dry fast with catalyst hardner and Even accelerated with japan dry.

@jakewilliams4294 2 года назад

Epic setup Brett! Two questions if ya don't mind. 1. The front deck looks kinda small, do you ever wish it was a bit bigger? 2. Looks like a good amount of effort went into the lights. Is the night fishing there solid enough to make effort worth your while?

@brettbarley 2 года назад

it's plenty fine... if I wasn't trying to fit my whole family on the boat, I'd definitely have made it bigger. but comfort wise for all of us, it made more sense to keep it small. the night fishing here is phenomenal for bait fishing... not artificial though. I went WAY in depth on the light setups, even though I'll hardly use them. but I wanted to have them, for those nights we do go out. it was more to do it for fun, than for need.

@leeadams5941 2 года назад

If you ever paint the outside again, go to South Florida Fishing Channel and do exactly what he did on his skiff for painting. You will be happy you did.

@brettbarley 2 года назад

thanks

@mattlord2906 5 дней назад

The brand of paint was 4200.?Any more information on it? In some cases, water will help the paint cure. It sounds odd, but it has happened even in the shipyards in Seattle, WA.

@rogersocalbeaches5734 2 года назад

Do you know how much weight was added to boat? Love the build and the story. Especially the retrospect and how it relates to the design and how you would do it differently if you had to do it again.

@brettbarley 2 года назад

I did not weigh it... but when I took it back on the water, I didnt lose even 1mph compared to before the build. In saying that, I'm positive it is a bit heavier, just not enough to matter too much.

@troytaylor5824 2 года назад

@brettbarley 2 года назад

Too small of a craft. It’d be in the way

@ryanknoup6288 2 года назад

I wouldn’t bring it up but I went through this on a kayak build and it is for your own safety. The navigation lights are supposed to be seen from straight ahead to 112* aft on either side of the boat. I’ve been so close to getting run over in my kayak in broad daylight. It’s exponentially harder to see smaller craft at night with a bow that is not properly on plane.

@brettbarley 2 года назад

Ya the lights were mostly for show and for safety. But around here the places I launch and fish at night, there’s no normal boat traffic. Heck I’ve only ever seen 1 boat when I’ve been out at night. If I was on a busy waterway I’d have rigged em better

@Chris-P 2 года назад

6:00 is it because you forgot to primer the underbody first? Great job on the build, Brett!

@brettbarley 2 года назад

It was paint/primer. Instructions said that no separate primer needed if used over old good paint or on bare aluminum.

@jayward7536 Год назад

Must be heavy as hell with all that wood.

No, that’s why I used thinner plywood and all regular pine. The salt treated wood before, being waterlogged, had the boat nearly the same weight as it is now. It is heavier than it was, but not by much. Boat goes same speed as it did prior to the build.

I’ve thought about filming the process but I don’t feel like hearing all the keyboard warriors opinions on it. My biggest concern is taking a wave over the bow and suddenly being in a pickle. Do you think that’s a concern in boats like this that are not self-bailing?

@brettbarley 2 года назад

I mean… 14’ Jon boats aren’t meant for ocean action. All boats have limits… sticking to fishing within their limits is always key.

@great0789 2 года назад

I have been looking at several Johnboat fishing boats for this exact same reason. I want to hit up salt for 90% of the time and then squeeze up into the cypress trees near my home the other 10%. Bouncing off of stumps. Chasing crappie up in the cypress flats in the Spring. How does the aluminum hold up to salt long term? The "Lowe Roughneck 1760 Pathfinder" is one of the boats I am looking HARD at. For $20.5k it comes with a Center console, tunnel drive, 19gal fuel cap, etc. Not bad! The motor is super mounted high already so no need for a jack plate. I can get galvanized trailers with Lowe boats as well as an option. www.loweboats.com/hunt-fish/roughneck/center-console/roughneck-1760-pathfinder.html
