@@cacgaming6212 there were when I fished it for this video, but I haven't been back since the tornado hit that area more than a year ago. The trail is still closed.

They literally just lift out once you remove the bungees from the ribs. There's nothing else holding them down. On the middle deck, there is also a wiring harness to disconnect, but otherwise, it's that simple.

Rock Creek in Little Rock, AR, along Rock Creek Trail, which I believe is currently closed due to tornado damage.

I don't know; I've only had a 1436. If you're on Facebook, maybe join the "Decked Out Jon Boats" group and ask them.

@@renaissanceguy148 thanks for replying I will check them out. Later.

I don't quite understand the question. Are you asking if kids have room to move around on the boat or if kids get drive it?

@@renaissanceguy148 Can kids get around it easy

@@CBJ2683 my kids do okay on it because they're lighter, so they don't make it tip as much. But if me and another adult are walking around on it, it gets a bit tippy.

@@renaissanceguy148 Thank you

@@renaissanceguy148 Me and my little brother bought one and we needed to know how stable it is

The struggle is real!

I bet that works great!

That's correct, because if I raised the trim, it would cavitate.

Must be just feeling the ride of a flat bottom. I find mine ride better flat, over the v bottoms. Play with the trim and ride hight.

It's a 1/2" plywood top that's framed with 2x2 and it's sealed with spar urethane. I keep thinking of making a video focused on how I built the decks, I just never find the time. Maybe I'll get to it soon!

Yes it is.

At first I rebucked the leaky rivets, but that didn't hold for very long. So I've started drilling them out and replacing them.

It's not so much about the total size of the body of water as much as it's about the total distance from one shore to the other. For example, I've had my boat on a lake that has an area of 68 square miles; if I'm driving across the main part of the lake, it's sketchy because the waves are taller than the side of my boat. But if I'm in a wind-protected cove, then all is well.

The problem with adding weight is that it's already a shallow boat, so adding weight puts the rails even closer to the water...

It's off of Rock Creek Trail in Little Rock. The trail runs from behind a strip mall at Markham and Bowman to the intersection of Chenal and Pride Valley.

@@renaissanceguy148 thank you my friend

The front deck has been suitable for how I use the boat. If I wanted to make it 100% a fishing boat, then I agree with you: I would need to lengthen my front deck for a trolling motor and seat. But as it is, it's plenty big for me to stand on it and cast and store life jackets underneath.

I believe it was the staple that was holding the tag onto the end of the board. I failed to remove it before cutting. Good eye!

@@renaissanceguy148 Thanks for sharing. I'm doing my own awning, this is very helpful.

Thanks for commenting, though I'm afraid I can't read it.

To match the look that the shed already had.

Hmmm...I don't remember the angles I used for the side supports. I might be able to find the answer with a bevel gauge. And I don't understand the second question...are you asking about where they're attached to the wall or to the roof?

It's not an ideal angle for panels that are mounted directly to the roof. But I have three panels on an angled stand as well as one panel mounted directly. So the three are close to an ideal angle, while the one is a little shallow. But also, the awning is about 8' at it's highest point, and if I angled it to much, I'd have to duck to get under the front of it.

8'x4'. And yes, it's framed with 2x4s. Thanks!

I've got an on-the-water video about stability, and another speed testing the boat, if that helps.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks!

Awesome!

I mostly stick to coves when I'm on bigger water.

I'll add--your 1542 will probably do a bit better than my 1436.

Try to keep your boat facing wake you’ll be fine

Good call!

Thanks!

Thanks--I like it!

It was just before the pandemic. Prices skyrocketed like two months after I bought it.

Oops, I didn't actually answer the question. Bass Pro Shop, when they were still making Tracker Toppers.

Awesome! I used the loop-and-ball style bungees and ran them through holes in the deck and under the ribs of the boat.

A couple of folks have requested that, so I'd like to. I'm swamped at work for the next few weeks, but maybe I'll be able to put something together when work slows down.

I can blame the camera angle or a faulty scale. Either way, it was a good fish.

I've got a 10 and an 8. 8 is better when I'm pulling a tube, 10 is better if I'm by myself. The 8 can over rev if I'm by myself and don't have extra weight.

Self tapping screws. Bolts would be better, but I didn't want to open up the seat. They've held it fine so far.

@@renaissanceguy148 Awesome, I was wondering about how much trouble it would be to use bolts and screws. I thought about building a little topper to put over the bench seat, overhanging the front and back of it, and bolting the seat to the topper, but I'm trying to keep the extra weight down to a minimum. Thanks!

@@Thorzon I hear you. It's a total balancing act between simplicity, function, and weight.

I'd also love a wider boat, but I didn't have room for one when I bought this one. I'll probably upgrade someday.
