I've been thinking of doing something like this but I want to fit a mazda rotary motor.

How cool is that. Thanks a bunch, I will definitely try it this hunting season.

Looking great. I’m sure it’ll be sweet looking when finished and everything is covered with a hatch. For a floor I think a sheet of aluminum would work well to keep weight down.

This is very thorough! Thank you!

I can’t believe how fast it is. You did a really nice job. Not only practical but it looks nice too.

I’m very impressed!

If I were a game warden, I would never ticket someone for doing a water test on a boat build. It’s obvious that you’re in the test mode.

I think the float switch should just get wired so it has constant power that way it turns on when the internal switch is activated. Why put a switch on a switch?

Biats mainly run on a grounded system. They interupt the ground not the power on the switch to cut power.

Looking good! Say .. what's the plan for flotation if you capsize it? Those benches on the alumacraft were originally sealed and acted as bouyancy. Maybe you mentioned this in a previous video and i missed it. You could probably put some pink XPS foam under the decking if you add a floor, or in sheets on the sides under the gunwales.

Good stuff

Looks good

Not a fan of that paint or paint job. Sorry. Not for a boat.

You killed this build well done. Getting a jet ski from my neighbor he’s gonna be pissed when he sees it cut up lol

How did you secure the seats and swivel to the bench with that little bit of space lol

Looking good! I love this project!

Looks good! Fun…

Great video brother, thanks for sharing

I don't want a boat or jetski... Now I NEED both..!!

Lots of great ideas. But two way tape is mostly junk when you add heat from the sun and water from condensation. 3m makes some good adhesive but it is almost impossible to remove if you want it gone. Always enjoy your build videos. You're a "gitter done" kind of guy!

Outstanding !!

Bad to da bone !

That is the most incredible boat build I’ve ever seen! I never imagined that it would run that fast!!!!

That is a cool boat 🎉

Was a fun build to watch. She's a bad unit now! Pretty work, Catman.......

Awesome job for sure. The only thing I would change out is that toggle switch that is sticking out for your GPS tach. I would be afraid of the toggle getting snapped off because it is sticking out so much and someone may step on it by accident getting in or out of the boat or maybe just moving around. I would see if you could get a switch that is a low mount/flush mounted, push able one. One that just clicks inside a button like application. Other then that, please make sure you are wearing your life jacket when you are out in the boat. See you on your next update video or your next hunting video. Whichever one comes first.

nice.

If you put a lightweight deck over the engine it could be used for a fishing deck as well

It’s a great feeling when it’s all done and works!

honestly, didn't think it would work. Turns out to be an incredible accomplishment. Amazing boat. Some angled footrests behind/below the next seat up?

Impressive build!

Looking good, you've made an awesome hunting boat to get into small creeks for sure 👍👍

Jesus Christ is King!❤

This is awesome brother!!!

Is that the Duck River in TN?

Can't wait to get mine going! Thanks for the vids, you made it much easier than most.

Running in that shallow of water is beautiful.

45mph is scary fast in a light jon boat.

that's so damn cool im building one like this one day

Dang thing is fast

Lots of respect here catman.you are certainly a hardworker and inovative.

That looks exactly like my 14' Valco

That's awesome, inspiring me to build one 😅

Does it go farther on a gallon of gas than with a outboard?

Good job. I’ve been planing to do this for a few years now. I’d probably do a couple things differently but nice build

The paint is AWESOME!!!!!

That things awesome!!

You might wanna install one of those kill switches that you can wrap around your wrist that way if you were to get thrown out of it it would kill the motor

There goes Catman blowing by all the 100K bass boats in his 14’ Jon LOL COOL BUILD DUDE

So. Bad. Ass. !!!!
