- Set up and walk around of my 2018 tracker topper 1236 jon boat. This video covers trolling motor mounting & wiring, navigation light mounting & wiring, paddle & pole light storage, 2018 5hp tohasu outboard & transom saver, battery tray mounting, and a DIY jon boat trailer. I hope this answers some of your questions or sparks new ideas on what you want to do to your jon boat build. Top speed and stabilization video coming soon. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful job. That's a perfect bass boat and very convenient for hard to get spots
Very clean sir, Great job!
I do have a suggestion though.---Mount your fire extinguisher towards the bow, if a fire breaks out, it will be near the Transom (where you don't want to be near.)
I'm not even half way through this video and already love this setup. Your craftsmanship is top notch too.
Great job on your boat. I also wanted to minimize drilling holes in my boat. I have also been wondering what to do about my nav lights. Your video has helped. I like your setup. Thanks for posting this video.
nice and clean work! Thanks for posting.
That looks like fun!
Your setup is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
very clean setup
This is pretty much my dream boat.

Hey Chase. Thanks for the video. I'm looking to do the same think. Can't wait for your top speed and stabilization video. Good work on one of the best jon boat videos I've seen so far.
Don, thank you for the nice comment. The top speed and stabilization video will likely come out on the 19th or 20th that's the soonest I will have time to make it. So, check back and be on the look out for it in about 2 weeks. Thanks again.
Very good job young man!
Very nice set up!
Vey clean boat. And nice set up. I just pick up a new grizzly 2024. I might set my like your. Thank you for showing my friend. ❤
Simple, functional and real clean. Wouldn't a forward mounted battery help with weight distribution?
Get a rubber grommet in that hole ya drilled. It will save those wires, even with the sleeve.Nice boat overall. And coat your stainless hardware and holes with the recommended product to stop electrolysis from rusting the stainless and chipping the paint on the Aluminium. Adding a sacrifice to the transom helps if you have a lot of non aluminum metals on the boat. Put a thick layer of rubber or a foam yoga mat under your battery. And your breaker. It will all help prevent battery drain, and corrosion. And light flooring, even a restaurant kitchen mat. The 2 inch thick kind. Get the stress off the hull rivets . Just some cheap tricks to get your investment to last. !!!!! Stay away from pressure treated wood!!!!
I love my 14’ flat bottom. I’m sure you love yours
The one downvote is from a kayaker
I Had a new 2019 Hobbie PA 14 enough peddling..... full of compliments , Now buying 1236 topper , not sure on moter brand ?????? Any suggestions? Thank You.
Great Job
That tongue setup is slick. You can keep an 8ft section to swap out for beach, pondshore launches.
very good job
always be careful to avoid stowing your fire prevention where your fires going to be.
One thing I noticed that needs changing is where the wires come out at the bow of the boat. You have wires coming out through a hole you drilled and you don't have a grommet to prevent the metal from chewing through the insulation and shorting out the wiring. It is extremely important to have a rubber grommet or something to prevent that from a short circuit, its only a matter of time before that happens. Consider the vibration particularly when operating the outboard, every impulse is rubbing those wires on the bare metal hole, slowing chewing the way through the insulation on those wires. If you haven't already changed it, I'm sure an inspection will show you the abrasion on those wires.
I was thinking the same thing.
sweet
Beautiful outfit 😃
Looks nice and clean! Do you not worry about the battery being so close to the gas tank?
Haha, for someone who didnt want to drill a lot of holes, you did drill a few. I think with the length of the battery cable it will cost you some amps. I like your boat though👍🏻
Very clean setup! I have a 1036 and am finding it's too short. Had a 14' got tired of the trailer & went to the 1036. A 1236 would be great to throw in the truck.
Very nice, how did you build the deck?
awesome boat man ,, I REALLY like the boat oar bracket you made , super clean and cool looking , everything really ….. OK a year later , do you still have it and use it ?...….. I love fishing but im on the fence as to which way to go , boat wise ,, kayak or jon boat ,,, I just don't want payments and I want to be able to stand up and fish like normal …. looking to do a similar set up as yours , I like the motor and everything ,, I hope to hear back about the boat and your thoughts about it a year later , Please ,Thanks , nice video
Thanks. I do still have it, and use it almost every weekend. It will fish 2 guys comfortably as long as you dont make real abrupt movements. I'm looking to put a foot guide trolling motor on it, do to the fact that I have learned it's hard to fish with a hand guide. I just haven't figured out how I want to mount the foot guide yet.
Chase Stookey awesome , I’m wth you on the trolling motor ,, Thanks for the feedback on that as well , , I will be fishing by myself 90 % of the time , so is good for me , Thanks again and good luck fishing .
Where did you get your bracket for your paddle ?
Where did you get the paddle and light holders?
Nice setup. Just wondering how is it launching with that trailer? I plan on using a utility trailer myself I already own figured I would ask.
I back in as far as I can without getting the waterline onto the hubs of the trailer. I'm not sure if the hubs are submergible or not, so that's why I don't back it on in. I push/pull the boat while standing on the trailer. I do not have to take the motor off, I just tilt it up as far as it will go.
Do you think that trailer I’ll fit a 14ft Jon boat ?
DO you have a link for that trolling motor mount... I can't seem to find it on Cabela's website.
I have the same boat. Can you tell me how much it cost for the outboard motor?
What length shaft is this trolling motor?
Great video! 👍 can you do a video on how to launch and load the boat from the water? Thanks!
How much weight total can this Handel ?
Do you have a video on how you handle the boat at the boat ramp with this trailer? Do you back it in so the back of the plywood is under water and then pull/push the boat while standing in the water? I have the same trailer and usually take the motor off so the boat is lighter for loading unloading, but wondering if there is a better way.

Me and my brother in-law are big guys and I was worried about him and I being to heavy for it.
Do you fish with other people with in the boat and how does it handle the weight.
Yes, I have fished with another person several times. It gets a bit tippy, but as long as you pay attention we haven’t had any problems. Adding another person definitely is a struggle for my little 5hp. It will get us where we need to go no problem, but I takes some time.
Short shaft or long shaft motor?
Short Shaft 15"
What is the weight limit on this boat?
3 persons or 365 lbs. 480 lbs with motor, gear, & persons. I have fished in this boat with 2 (200lbs) people, gear, motor, battery etc. It had no problem with us in there. This set up will run 11 mph with the people & gear mentioned above.
Chase Stookey thanks man! I am picking one up on Sunday.
fyi , the Alumacraft 1236 has a 3 person 540 lbs weight limit, same size boat
Nice set up. Coupla things. The battery should be protected from rain and next to transom may get wet on a windy day with waves. Cross your safety chains on trailer.
It's a 4 stroke motor? Bimini top would be good for rain and sun protection.
I just got the top speed video uploaded. If you are interested you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/vtH2qAANFYQ/видео.html
You will need to add side guide boards or you will have damaged fendersiif you back trailer into water to launch.
