I discuss the pros and cons of a riveted 1436 jon boat for anyone thinking of getting one. #1436 #jonboat #boat #prosandcons #trackertopper #riveted #flatbottom
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.
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.
@@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.
Thanks for the pros and cons list. Wish I could see you give this feedback while on the boat though!
I've got an on-the-water video about stability, and another speed testing the boat, if that helps.
Good information. I looking for jon boats this might be the idea sizes.
Awesome little boat I have the same one with a 15 horse just wish it was a little wider
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.
Can you show a video of how you have done your removable deck? I like the idea of that and want to see how you have it done.

When you say big water what size lakes are you referring too as in acres

Man where did you find a 14’ boat for 1000$ brand new? Academy wants 2k for boat only
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.
How did you fix the leaks?
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.
Is it still very hard for two kids with not adults on it too get around?
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

@@renaissanceguy148 Thank you
@@renaissanceguy148 Me and my little brother bought one and we needed to know how stable it is
Go rivet's or go cracked. Now I'll view vid.
