Transforming My Jon Boat Into A Bass Boat! 

This mod is sick! Yin tin lookin fresh my guy! Cant wait to see it out on the water, the video kept me entertained the hole way through!

Dude i’ve been waiting on this one!

Great Vid! The next modification could maybe be making compartments under the platform for storing fishing tackle! I like the electric motor idea so that you can fish in a lot more places!

That is a heavy deck. Way more weight on the front is going to cause the nose ride heavy, I framed my front deck in aluminum and used 1/2 inch plywood treated with resin to waterproof it.

great work i’m a huge fan maybe adding foot pedal on ur trolling moter so that u don’t have to squat everyone u wanna move it or shift and maybe to carpet the rest of the boat ik ur on a budget but it will be worth it in the long run !!

Ditto on being mindful of how much weight you add. If you don't have close to equal weight at the Stern where you're building up the bow your boat is gonna be nose heavy in the water. I modified my 1448 jon a few years ago and was able to do it using all 2x2 and 1/2" plywood construction and didn't increase the weight by too much. If you check out Tony Boat Nation's channel though you'll see some great info on framing using aluminum angle and that's the preferred method by far. Nice job though! You're gonna love have a casting deck up front.

I want to do the same thing when it is spring. The only thing that I can think of to modify the deck it to put storage underneath it

Hey good job man! Bet the YinTins happy with the upgrade!!!

Outstanding work boys. Way to go 👍

I did mine about a year ago and I absolutely loves it I wish I would’ve added the latches like i was planning but I didn’t so it’s all good. I’m also trying to find someone to collab with on RU-vid as well this spring to catch some big bass. So let me know if you want to make it happen. I’m not far from Richmond at all!!

Awesome build u got going bro, not really familiar with the electric motors?! Excited to see more come of this Bad A Skiff 👍🏼

You should get paint grit and flex seal for your deck when you need to replace carpet. Grit will give you a lot of extra grip

Great job on the YinTin! Hopefully you can catch some biggins out there!

Great video that’s sick can’t wait to see you fish on it

Good job Yin. You sure added a lot of weight using those two by eights. Be careful and good luck.

Ooo you already know this is gonna be a banger😎🔥

I love when u use the microphone it sets you apart from other yt fishers

You should make boxes on the side of the boat for rod storage and then under the lifted part sorted drawers for lures and line and snacks

Don’t lie but he is the best RU-vidr ever 🕺🤷🏽‍♂️ it’s just facts

This is a really cool video 👍

Simple, thanks for the video

Nice deck, you'll love it for sure!!

W dad

Glad to find a fishing RU-vidr from my neck of the woods, well you got my sub. might see you on the water some day 👍

Get a pwm for you trolling motor next, its more efficient i just learned

Just subbed and hit the bell! I love your energy bud! Tight lines💪

You should cut out a hole and put a square bucket to store live bait like minos and maybe led lights

Awesome my man!!

Dude that a crazy mod great job keep up the work

When fisheryin is looking lumber at lightning

bro that so good for 60 bucks but you should watch fishing with flairs jon boat video and then you should do that

Awesome video bud 🔥

You should add like car hydraulics or something to the bottom of that sign lips up and then you have all your tackle below it

Carpet rest of boat and maybe a custom decal that says yin tin. And a new color

I like this video,cool way to make it simple

Not sure of what type of wood you purchased, but treated lumber corrodes aluminum FYI

Nice modifications to the yin tin there.

LOL I thought you were in Richmond TX

I have a content idea, garage sale/thrift store/Facebook fishing challenge. That would be epic!

Love the mod you did you should had a railing around the deck of the boat

Sick boat man! I recommend a fish finder.

Looks fantastic! Might wanna seal the exposed part of the wood

🔥🔥🔥 keep up the great content

I wish I would've known you were going to build it out. I work construction and could have helped out! Be careful since you just added about 120lbs of weight to your boat. Gotta keep an eye on your weight limit.

You should put a little chair at the deck, i think its very cool than. Like your vids so much.

Good job for building the deck but do you think that is a lot weight fir your boat? Overall hood job 👍

Hello good morning will you be going a part 2 to you boat I would like to see it completed

Love your vids bro

YES NEW VIDEO!

When you where there for his first 1000

i’m located in chesterfield so you’re honestly really close yin fr hmu!!!

This the vid i been waiting for let’s go

Hey man I also live in Richmond, if you want some good spots in Midlothian lmk!

TOEBY TOEBY TOEBY WE WANT MORE TOEBY

keep it light as possible

Love your videos

When you showed when it gonna rain and it said Richmond and I have a Richmond where I live in ky

Do you live in Canada

I’ve been working on mine as well! You did a nice job!!😎👌🔥🔥🔥 also how much do you want for your motor?

It looks good but you can't use to much stuff to keep building you would need a bigger boat that boat can proably hold like 600 -800 pounds so I wouldn't go to crazy

🔥🔥🔥

TOEBBBBY

Hello my friend I say yes you should add a deck on the back of the boat also you should add some bolt some chairs to the boat 👍 and a small grill to cook fish on

Well I know that you said not the video no plywood but what you could do is just and a layer of it on top of that to make it flush with the boat and maybe even add a storage compartment right in the middle of the deck with a hatch ?

100TH COMMENT. Also, I think making a little compartment to hold flat tackle boxes would be cool

I'm doing the same 100$ challenge, used 40$ half inch plywood 4x8, carpet, leds lights, topside paint, and wood stain

Love it 😂

The vids Ryan, but what reference videos did you use?! 😂👍

Here before he hits 1mil

I need a 9.9 real bad

How much Weight did all that add?

What size is that Jon boat? 10? 14 feet?

Add a storage space under the deck

How heavey can i make it? good job!

For the cost of a basic Jon boat. In the UK, you can buy a bigger more stable good quality second hand boat with an engine.

Was that 60usd?

W video

A 4x8 sheet of plywood wood at Home Depot is like 23 bucks

Not trying to hate, but 35 Degrees? Freezing? You should come to MN, it is around -2 degrees where I’m at. Not great for ice fishing lol. 😂

What state are you in

Generation z: "I want to build something" Answer: "get any generation older than them to do it for them"

Love the video but I have a view question I’m start my own diy jon boat project 10 ft sears an I have a couple questions it I could have a Email or something to reach you

Second great video

Custom rod holders

Hey I know your famous and you might not see this but I'm in the state of Virginia and I'm a big fisherman I would like to go fishing with you

I just got a bait caster any advice

Hey did you sell your 9.9? I’m in Hampton Roads. Not too far away. Also you should do this to my Jon Boat lol

I wish I could do that

WHY? I turned mine into a catfish boat

Where’s your mercury?

Foot peddle trolling motor 9 horse power motor Fish finder Storage for tackle

You have the right idea but, take ALL that weight off the boat and use it for a out board stand in the winter!!! I’m afraid you’re going to sink that poor little boat!!! Please consider using plywood instead!!!!!

Seal the wood

Ppl here from tik tok

Your waisting so much money and making your boat so heavy use steal

You have way too much weight on the front of the boat need to redesign a lighter..

too heavy.

This sucks as a fishing boat

if only i came 🥲
