- This video is a compilation of the entire 1436 Jon Boat to Bass Boat build I completed last summer. The build took place over the course of 6+ months started at the end of summer to the beginning of spring.
Here is the link to the full 1436 playlist to see the full length videos and many more than weren't included in the compilation:

This was a huge learning experienced that directly translated to making the new 1648 progress better than I could have hoped for. I hope you guys like it!

I really enjoyed watching this. , imma do mine like it ! Awesome work
What a difference tiding it up made nice job
Dużo porządnej pracy. Gratulacje, bo efekt finalny piękny 🤗💪
Super clean build. Love it
Loving the prep my man, not many people would take those crucial yet necessary steps for a great finish. We’ll done, love the boat looks like it was strait from a better jon bot factory that doesn’t yet exist 😂
It makes a big difference! There's a lot to be said for peace of mine about your boat while floating around on a lake lol
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your project. Very nice work.👍
Thank you very much!
I love watching your vids brother.Keep up the good work.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
I miss this boat
It was a dope little boat
Nice
Awesome job! You made it look easy! (I know it’s not)
Awesome video my friend new to your channel and looking forward to some more videos thank you for your step by step 👍
Welcome! Great time to find the channel currently working on a new 14ft Jon!
I've watched this myself a few times over now and it's still a trip to see how much went into this. This video was only a fraction of the work that went into it as well. Check out the full playlist here if you want more in-depth info on any thing you see on the boat!

When I first started watching your videos on this boat I didn't really like the white color that much. But over time it grew on me and now I like it so much I'm painting my jon boat the same color (except semi-gloss). haha I really like the way you have the anchormate on the front. I've been trying to buy a similar mount for my boat but that style is sold out everywhere. This was an exceptional build. Great work!
Excellent build, great looking boat. This was a very informative video, especially the products you used in sealing the wood. What size is the motor on the boat. Again great job.
It was a 9.9hp, ran really nice! Thanks for the comment :)
This is a great jon boat build, also love the color looks nice and clean! I would have wanted a bow mounted deck instead of the anchor, but that is my preference. How did you decide the center seat could be removed safely and still keep the boats rigidity? Is there a place somewhere you can do to find this out? I have a small utility boat I would like to remove the center seat on and I've seen other people weld an additional rib in this case.
There was bracing on each side of the bench seat so the seat itself wasn't proving much bracing. If the seat was the bracing I wouldnt have removed it.
You didn't use any marine plywood? What thickness of plywood did you use? Did you put cloth on when fiberglassing? Did you think about using hydro-turf at all? Looks good, great job.
I used hydroturf / eva foam on my next and current build -- I love it! It stays nice and cool and hooks don't get caught up in it. I used 11/32 ply and sealed with the fiberglass resin, no fiberglass mat was used, just the resin to waterproof.
Looks great! What carpet brand and color did you get? … Where did you purchase from?
I went with an "Automarine" carpet from Menards. I believe it was just listed as Gray.
Learning from your videos! Did you ever have problems with the epoxy on bottom of boat cracking? Aluminum has flex to it, and epoxy does not.
No issues, it's all about choosing the correct epoxy. Some stay flexible and those are suitable for bottom coatings while others can be brittle and should be avoided.
@@mvboutdoors Ah...thank you!
Hey man, any primer recommendations?
Rust-Oleum Marine Metal Primer:

How stable is this boat without the foam? I’m just curious for my build
The interior foam doesn't add any stability or flotation, it's only there in case you get swamped or capsized
I decided to not remove my middle bench seat. I don't have any ribs in that area. Did you attach the flooring wood to the boat?
Yes I did, I used small stainless screws into the ribs
@@mvboutdoors excellent! That’s my direction too. I just put the fiberglass resin on my transom pieces. One side. Fans and air cleaner going.
You have an email?
How did you attach the wood to the benches for the seat where it wasn't a hatch ?
Stainless screws
What size boat hood for me and my two boys? Looking for a decent size jon
For an adult and two kids I would recommend no smaller than a 1648, that will give you all room to move. If you can go bigger, I would!
How much do you think you have tied up in this build?
Excluding the motor it was around $1500 for materials, all in all it wasn't too bad.
I see the sander but did you use any chemicals to help strip the paint or did you just sand it?
No chemicals, only sanded
You removed ALL the flotation but never replaced it!?!? Surely you're not counting on those sheets to save your investment if things go wrong! I would suggest filling those "storage" spaces with empty soda and milk containers as a form of "damage control".
There was more foam added back in all areas of the boat than was removed, no worries there.
