- Check out this completed 1648 Jon Boat build! This project has lasted over a year but I'm far enough along now to call this complete. In this video I go over (mostly) everything in detail that has been done with this Jon Boat boat!
Stick around until the end for a collection of trips out of the water with the Jon Boat in full use on display.
Cards will be available throughout the video as well as the full playlist below.
If you guys have any feedback on the build or want to follow along with the new one, don't forget to subscribe and drop me a message down below.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING and being a part of the journey. I'm already getting started on the next one that I can't wait to show you where I'm at.

Wow, what a restoration job! That boat is nearly 400 years old!!!
Haha, truuuue
Thoroughly impressed! You should change the title to "THE BEST JON BOAT CONVERSION ON CZcams"
Haha, thank you!
This is the nicest one I've seen. My 13 year old son just got a free Jon boat and we are doing a fater son project. This video was very inspiring.
Good luck! It's a great project, very rewarding. Me and my daughter had a blast building this one.
Holy crap I’ve been watching this series since the beginning and it really is amazing❤️👑 thank you for the entertainment you bring us
Your Jon boat is my favorite I’ve seen so far. That gray and brown combo look so clean together 💪🏼
Thanks man, I really wasn't sure if it was going to look good but I'm thrilled with how it came out.
This makes this kayak fisherman envious!!! Nice job!!!
You did a really good job on this build man it's simple and clean.
That is freaking AWESOME !!
A. This is awesome. I totally binged the entire playlist 😅
B. That is my lake, so we must live in the same general part of the state. If you see some weirdo waving from the bank, it might be me. 😂
C. I’ve never been a boater or worked on them, but I feel like I could give it a go just from watching your vids.
Thanks for taking us on the journey!
Awesome job. Beautiful boat
Great job on the build!
Bro! This is awesome
This build turned out great. I have a Lowe 1646 that I got this last year. You've given me a lot of great ideas.
That's awesome, best of luck on your build!
Awesome build man
Holy cow man, Im blown away by how nice this boat is. I binge watched most of the series tonight and loved the process, and you've tempted me to start building my own boat. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! What a great comment, I really appreciate the feedback and that you've found the channel helpful. If you do decide to build your own, just take it slow -- one part at a time -- and it's totally doable!
That's one of the cleanest jon Boats. iv seen man amazing job on it
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Wow that’s awesome!
Thanks man, I'm really happy with how it came out.
This is the best build ive seen! This is what id love to do for a project! Very clean and nicely done sir!
Thanks man, I think it came out great
This is my dream boat!
I want to do this build. AWESOME
that is a really nice boat.
This is dope
Very nice job !
Thank you!
DOPE! 🦾💯
I did a job boat conversion last year. Was working on a small budget,so I found everything used on marketplace. Used 28 HP Johnson,1970s monark 15.5 x48"at bottom (60across top). One of my brothers does highway construction. When they do a stretch they replace the signs, which are all high grade aluminum. Casting deck, floors, all free material. Some outdoor carpet from home Depot.
It's set up exactly like this one, except I have 2 casting chairs ,one in back one in front.
I do live in southern Michigan,so I am lucky with the abundance of used boating items that can be found.
Shout out to "Hildabrandts" marine,and snowmobile salvage. Great place to get ahold of things at a good price.
All in I spent about $1400. (Only $400 boat and trailer, $600 outboard)
Excellent use of road signs, I tried that approach and contacted a few local city employees but I never got a response, I would have loved to do the same. There's a lot to be said for doing this super budget, I really enjoy it.
Great job brother cool build my friend
Thanks man!
Very impressive 👍
Thank you!
Awesome job man...exactly what I want to do to my Grizzly ....
Thanks bud, I'd love to build out a grizzly!
You really did a fantastic job with that boat do you ever have any trouble with that trolling motor when it's in spot lock sometimes it will sit there and wind itself up with the cord until it kicks off spot lock.
I never had it do that while using spot lock, I did it manually a couple times with turning but it was good with not over-wrapping the cord on spot lock.
I have a bass tracker pro160 with a 40hp. I really love my boat. That being said man I would love to have your boat also. That thing is perfect for bass fishing or anything really.
That was the idea when building it, a general purpose fishing machine 👍
I love your boat build. I am coming to the end of doing my 14ft fiberglass boat and so far it is coming out great. I do wonder why did you by a long shaft Yamaha when you had a short shaft transom. You could avoided needing a jack plate. Maybe I am missing something. I do agree with on the trolling motor. I have no need for a foot pedal now.
Nope you're not missing anything and yes a short shaft was the appropriate size for the boat. It was purchased due to availability of short shafts at the time. If I were to do it again I would have just waited for the short shaft, even if I got the long shaft working in the end. Lol
Hey man, first of all i love the channel. I have searched and watched video after video to find someone doing the same build out that i plan to do. This one is almost identical. If you dont mind me asking, how much aluminum angle did you use? Looks awesome and looking forward to building mine.
To be honest I'm not sure, if I had to guess I would say around 4-5 8ft runs
Just saw your bimini video and wanted to know more about your vessel
Great build. Excellent attention to detail. I have an Alumacraft MV 1648 and wondering about removing the bench seat and how this will affect the integrity of the hull. Did you remove a center bench seat? If so, how did you reinforce the hull?
This boat came with the center bench seat removed already. If there is bracing on each side of the seat it should be fine, if the seat bench is the bracing I might reconsider.
Lovely build bro. Looking at the color of the water and reg number on the side of the boat-- is that Mosquito Lake in OH? Anyways, gonna try to emulate this over the next year or so. Beautiful job, thank you for sharing. Much more accessible price than I would have expected.
Ceasar's Creek, good luck on your build!
Very well done. I noticed the battery switch if its one of no name brandsbe careful i had one weld the contacts and melt plastic pushing more than 50a in it starting a motor. I really like how it cam out cant buy one for 6k
Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely keep an eye on that. It seems to be made with sturdy hardware but electrical issues are always a fear of mine.
Awesome and I appreciate you adding the cost! Could a small suv tow this boat?
Easily! It was super light, couldn't even feel it behind the truck.
Nice work! Can I ask.. where the heck do you find the aluminum framing? I have the same boat with a 40hp Mercury, but dedicated to waterfowl hunting. Bought it during COVID and it just amazes me how little you get for 24 grand! Would love to biuld on the worthless bait tank and put in a beam to beam bench.
I got my angle from Lowe's! They sell it by the 8ft run
Nice! Love the layout! Too bad you couldn’t have added a livewell in there somewhere! But that’s just a personal preference.😁 Great build though!!👍👍
A live well would have been awesome! I considered adding on to the rear bench seat but decided to keep the back deck flat and comfortable. There was definitely room for it! I personally don't use them much, so it wasn't high on my priority list. Now... an integrated bait bucket would have been pretty amazing, hmmm...
New build starting soon! Subscribe to follow along ✌️
I love the build I just wanted to know how much it cost for all of the framing and the decking
That wasn't too bad, around $300 or so but the aluminum floor was around $400.
Do you have video of you building that steering?
Yeah I have a whole playlist on it. Here you go:
Jon Boat Side Console Conversion: czcams.com/play/PLa2zX8loz2eHu4UO-mC_4mBpBbb2AsAJJ.html
Great build, where can I find the source for all your add-ons maybe some links, thank you
Each video of the build I have the products linked in the description, anything in particular you're looking for?
Mind me asking, how much did it cost to weld the pods on the back?
It was around $300-$400
what was the cost of the whole build project
Around $6-7k
What is the make and model of that console?
amzn.to/46A0Iu0
Bass tracker?
1648 Landau Jon
Can I borrow the boat and b your storage ? Lol
would've looked a lot cleaner with that steering cable hidden
You're right about that, I had to plans to do that at some point but I had to tear so much down to do it I made it work in the interim.
Always a hater
@@isaacjackson9228 no one is being a hater buddy just saying it would of looked a lot cleaner dont a be a keyboard warrior THAT'S DANGEROUS!!!!!!
Damn nice boat really nice book wish I had the money for something like that great setup have fun
