Nothing feels better than doing what you love with something you built with your own two hands. I’m so happy that this project was able to pull you out of that period of darkness, as well as give you a truly gorgeous boat that your family can enjoy for years to come. I can’t wait to see you land some lunkers on this beauty.
I appreciate that man. The boat stuff and fishing for me is good therapy. So long as I don't get stressed or overwhelmed I always look forward to working on my boat. Can't wait to catch some big fish in it and looking forward to sharing the new build. Thanks for watching!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats man! I want to build mine exactly this way. Just don’t know where to even start. I think I emailed you and sent you a dm. I see you’ve done a few just wondering how much you charge to get mine this way?
Anthony, I have to say AWESOME JOB! You have inspired me to park my 12ft plastic boat. I went out 5 months ago and picked up a new 1542 and started the build. Its 85% complete. I did some unique things to my build. I look forward to posting it and getting feed back. I learned a lot from you, Ryan and Mike. you guys all have great ideas. Stay tuned!
Thanks so much for the support man and sorry it took a while to respond. Glad to hear your doing a build and if your ever in Instagram feel free to DM me pics of the build. Thanks again!
Dude, I'm speechless! Next to a production-style boat, it doesn't get any better than this. I'm am very impressed at the overall work and that you got through whatever it is you went through to get this accomplished. Congrats...hope to see more videos and more projects. Good luck with growing your channel.
I’ve been following Jon boat builds for years. I am finally upgrading from kayak fishing to a Tracker 1448 flat bottom 20hp jet. I’m rewatching your videos to get ideas of how I want to rig my new boat. Thanks for your awesome content.
That is the most fabulous john boat I have ever seen, I built one 25 years ago and wanted to paint the flying tiger on it like you did but never did, awesome job!! I would beat her have a boat like yours than a brand new ranger
So glad you put what you did in the description, I’m pretty young but purchased a Jon boat of a guy and there’s no lights on it and still learning how to do certain things, the nav lights on the front are def gonna hell me out. Thank you! If only I can find a good led white one for the stern
Impressive details. I screw in a cup holder into my 14ft aluminum skiff, strip one screw and still think its the raddest thing. The lights and live bait set up are inspiring.
Most detailed boat build I've ever seen, been subbed to you since the beginning, can't wait for the next one. I've started to do some pretty heavy mods on my boat as well, lots of metal repair and fabrication. You sir a motivated individual.
Truly inspiring and unbelievable......words cannot explain how impressed I am and how jacked this boat got me for spring fishing. Thanks so much for your videos. Subscribed!
Awesome videos man! Ive dealt with my own demons in recent years, and there is no better therapy than keeping your hands and mind busy. Currently restoring my grandpops old bass boat. You are a great inspiration not only for my build, but life in general!
Dude thanks so much for the kind words, I greatly appreciate it! You are absolutely right, my passion for creating has been a blessing and has helped me a ton! Good luck on the boat and let me know if you ever have questions!
Mr Jones fabulous build I love the hidden light bar it’s perfect to block light out of your eyes and to hide the bar when not in use. Great job and thank you millions
Just picked up a 16/48 Monark with a 15 Johnson. Was wondering how I was going to make this thing like I wanted it. I’d consider myself handy and your boat has inspired me to go full on bass boat. I love the shark graphics. Gave me the idea to honor my grandfather in this boat. He was a Navy Sea Bee during WWII. I’m all kinds of pumped now! Tight Lines!
Great looking boat Anthony, you did an awesome job on the build of this boat. We really appreciate you taking the time to show us all the things you completed in this boat, truly an inspiration to others. I'm fixing to start a rebuild myself. Just wanted to say thank you and that you did a outstanding job on this boat, good luck fishing bud...
Thank you Anthony, I have watched this today for hours , I must admit I was saddened by the segment when your life was at a low ,interesting how a project can turn this around been there myself and Im an old guy now 73 but am inspired by your videos and am fixing up my sea nymph which Ive owned for 23 years I need it to tow along behind my houseboat that I bought this year in Lake Temagami Ontario, check out leisure island houseboat rentals, after many years renting I was fortunate to buy one and plan to spend my retirement fishing up there, and working on my boats thanks to you I now have references on how to go about different projects,
Very glad I have stumbled upon your channel man. I plan to follow in some of your footsteps! Thanks so much for the inspiration you’ll be seeing more of me here at this channel!
Great job cousin! I’ve enjoyed the ride thus far and can’t wait to see build 2. Don’t let those demons rise, but if they do reach out. Cousins snd Brothers are always there.
Thanks cuzin , I appreciate it! Life is good now, I'm doing better than I deserve. Just got to keep the main thing the main thing and be grateful for what I have. Thanks for the love!
I’ve watched this video 4 times now awesome boat. Can’t wait to start on my 16/48. The carpet thing is just one of the great ideas you have making sure it’s the same direction. I notice it now on people’s boat.Thanks for the content.
Damn FINE JOB there DAWG!!! Now, all you need to do is add a 9.9-HP (Upgrade it to a 20-HP, by changing 2 parts...See LaingEj RUclips Video), 4-Stroke EFI Suzuki Motor and you'd have a BAD ASS FLYING TIGERS BASS BOAT!!!
Man thats amazing brotha.. Thats by far the best build i’ve seen on youtube..def a big fan & i love the videos you do. Great character and i learn alot from you.. again great build..
lol love the story and all that great video, great boat, your a real talent.. the whole process is spiritual and in the end the boat itself is an artwork.
Absolutely love it!!! You are truely on your way to a career in custom boat building!! If I could cut a straight line I would attempt this on my Alumacraft. Thanks for sharing.
You went above and beyond fantastic. Wow what a excellent build. and your still married. and she is lucky. the lightning and attention to detail. Wow. hit it out of the park there Bro.
Wow that was incredible. Excellent job on the build, and thanks so much for all your hard work getting this content out to us! Lots of time, skill, and dedication went into the build and the quality speaks for itself. Great job cuzin, so proud of you. And thanks for the shout out! We got to go chase some fish before it gets too cold for me to be outside.
Thanks so much man, I greatly appreciate it. So awesome that this platform has brought so many like minded individuals together to create. Appreciate all you do and look forward to your boat build. Thanks buddy!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats thats how i feel about my car that im working on. Until that is done i refuse to start on the boat.... or else i will have 2 massive projects lol.
This is the best boat build I have seen every other one I have seen on RUclips can’t even compare to this I am building my own now I know I am like a year late but did you use cedar wood and what type of seal did you use on the wood? Thanks
Great Job Anthony. It really turned out to be awesome build. I can't wait to get started on my first build. Still planning things out while like you said in this video, for me to be able to put it on my top priority list. Fish on Brother!
I like the Phoenix for sure. Fits the theme pretty well. I do need a name for the new boat but the problem is I'm not sure what color it will be and I think that may have a role in the name. Appreciate the ideas!
unfortunately i do not have any social media except for youtube...sucks im missing out but thats the way she goes sometimes...amazing boat man you did a great job
Great job that is the ultimate Jon boat I’ve ever seen .!! 💯💯 one question is anyway to you could tell me the details about the battery I have 55 lbs thrust but I might using the wrong deep cycle battery . I just got my first Jon boat .!!
Great boat build!!! I ready to build my jon boat up, but I’m going to need some help with it. I’ve been looking at your boat for months on RUclips, and I’m assuming this is not your first build. It looks immaculate. Totally impressed!
Thanks for watching man! This is my first boat build although I do have an unfair advantage considering I was carpenter and in construction for over 10 yrs before taking on this project. I did a ton of research too before starting. Thanks again!

Great transformation from basic JonBoat to JonBoatSupreme
Thank u!
Not sure if I am motivated or intimidated after watching this! Amazing, amazing work sir. From design to craft it's totally spectacular.

Thanks so much man!
Cousin!!!! The boat is ridiculous, it has so many details!! I’m blown away, with your craftsmanship💯💯
Thanks buddy, appreciate all the support. Now.....if I could just learn to fish like you I'd be pretty deadly!!!
It must feel so rewarding to put in the hard work and see the result. Awesome job!
Brandon Heath Shaw thats exactly how we make dreams become your reality. the journey is everything.
@@tweedleduhm9931 Absolutely! Peace friend 👍
Brandon Heath Shaw peace and love my friend!
This boat has inspired me in so many ways. Congrats on building a beautiful Jon boat that anyone would want.
That's dude , I hope you build one of your own, thanks so much!
That is the most fabulous john boat I have ever seen, I built one 25 years ago and wanted to paint the flying tiger on it like you did but never did, awesome job!! I would beat her have a boat like yours than a brand new ranger
I'm glad you made it through life struggles. I'm looking to hire someone to build my 10ft that way...
Wow, this is a fantastic and very thorough build. Unfortunately he will never get your money back out of it. I hope you keep it forever.
So glad you put what you did in the description, I’m pretty young but purchased a Jon boat of a guy and there’s no lights on it and still learning how to do certain things, the nav lights on the front are def gonna hell me out. Thank you! If only I can find a good led white one for the stern
Thank you, good luck on your project. I bought the stern light from Academy.
This Jon boat build is sick! Incredible
Thank you!!!!
Gorgeous build! watched every minute. Thanks for sharing your journey, looking forward to your next build
Has me dreaming of fixing my 1971 up now. I doubt it’ll be anywhere close to this great boat you did. Awesome!
If you believe it, you can achieve it! Thanks man
Great build from a neighbor ! We live between Athens and Jefferson . Sandy Creek Park and Bear Creek reservoir , excellent fishing . Go Dawgs !!!!
Hey brother, lifelong fishermen here and more recently a newfound appreciation for DIY. This is an amazing build.
Impressive details. I screw in a cup holder into my 14ft aluminum skiff, strip one screw and still think its the raddest thing. The lights and live bait set up are inspiring.
But the cupholder is the most important mod...
Compromise - you are a wise man....great vid - thanks. Thinking about starting my own soon. Beautiful piece of art you have created.
Thank you kindly!

Thanks man. I appreciate the support and tuning in for the process. I too am excited for the next boat. It will be unique in it's own ways.
This is, by far, the DOPEST jon boat to bass boat conversation I have ever seen. Hell, this is honestly nicer than a bass boat. Jealous👍🏼🇺🇸
Truly inspiring and unbelievable......words cannot explain how impressed I am and how jacked this boat got me for spring fishing. Thanks so much for your videos. Subscribed!
Thank you! You can build one too! Good look, thanks for subbing.
Watched many of your builds, just saw this one. Thank you for the inspirational story and build. God bless!!
Thanks so much man! An oldie but a goodie! Appreciate the support
Just the stewardship and quality of literally everything on it is so awesome

Heck yeah man, im near Athens and fish all around that area, perhaps we cross ways one day
I’ve watched this video 4 times now awesome boat. Can’t wait to start on my 16/48. The carpet thing is just one of the great ideas you have making sure it’s the same direction. I notice it now on people’s boat.Thanks for the content.
Thanks man, appreciate it! Yeah once you know te carpet trick, it will drive you nuts seeing other people's boats who don't know!
Sweet! I definitely found some new motivation in this video to make some more upgrades to my boat.
Damn FINE JOB there DAWG!!! Now, all you need to do is add a 9.9-HP (Upgrade it to a 20-HP, by changing 2 parts...See LaingEj RUclips Video), 4-Stroke EFI Suzuki Motor and you'd have a BAD ASS FLYING TIGERS BASS BOAT!!!

Congratulations! Great Experience. Thanks for sharing
Amazing !!!!! The boat is so clean and the whole time I was waiting to see the bait cutting table set up..... Or bait cutting not allowed, haha
Haha don't really use cut bait in bass fishing!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats that explains it, this aint no catfishing boat, hahaha
Superb build!! So many cool things I want to use in my build, cheers from Australia
Thanks for tuning in from the land down under!!! Greatly appreciate it cuzin!

Thanks for the support!
Anthony, (or anyone else wanting to chime in), is there any worry about ventilation with the gas tank in that enclosed space? Any tips?
I'm trying to do a set up lik this so thankx really gave me sum ideas great build
Seriously, Anthony, it's a fantastic boat! Great Job! looking to start mine very soon!
Loved following all your videos from beginning to end my friend!
Thank you for following the whole process cuz!
Nice rig but I got to ask where did you get that decal on the front of the boat at..
Its not a decal, hand painted, heres the video-
ruclips.net/video/zVGWk0mGNX0/видео.html
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats nice thanks buddy.
True craftsman
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for watching the process!
Amazing. Very well done. It's beautiful.
Thanks man!
Awesome boat build. One question. The decals on the carpet, like the TBNation and Top Gun, are those like adhesive decal, Heat transfer or painted?
They are heat transfer. Pricepoint is good but not as hard-core quality as the ones found on Bassmaster boats.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats Awesome, thanks for the reply!
mr. jones nice top gun built boat, it looks sweet if i may say as a compliment
Thanks so much man
Anthony Jones your very welcome mr. jones
Awesome videos. The boat turned out great. I cant wait to do my TB Nation boat. Congrats on finishing!
Thanks! I'm not lying when I thought I'd never finish it, there was a time i thought it would go by the wayside.
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats thats how i feel about my car that im working on. Until that is done i refuse to start on the boat.... or else i will have 2 massive projects lol.
Love the shark’s teeth paint job. That’s the best part. The rest of the boat is ok. I’m kidding, it’s awesome!
Thanks man! I'm super proud of it for a diy project!
This is the best boat build I have seen every other one I have seen on RUclips can’t even compare to this
I am building my own now I know I am like a year late but did you use cedar wood and what type of seal did you use on the wood? Thanks
Yes cedar coated in oil based enamel. All hatches and decking coated in fiberglass resin. Videos of everything on my channel. Thank you!
That is absolutely fabulous. You should start a business.
Thank you, may be a possibility
Absolutely sick!
This build is so beast
Thanks a lot man!
damn that boat is kick ass i have a 30 ft house boat that im turing into kick ass jon boat thanks for the ideas great job
Awesome build cuz !!
Thanks cuz, sorry it took me a minute!
Great Job Anthony. It really turned out to be awesome build. I can't wait to get started on my first build. Still planning things out while like you said in this video, for me to be able to put it on my top priority list. Fish on Brother!
Thanks man, you'll get there! Just be patient, trust me it will be worth it.
I have a 14/32 did a cool upgrade on it 4 years ago. Time for a remodel. How did you get those stickers to stick on the carpet??????
The swiss army knife of jon boats. Very nice. How much weigh did the mods add to the boat?
Under 200pds , batteries weigh 100
New name for the boat... Top Gun Phoenix... As you have risen from the depths to create a masterpiece...Top Gun Redemption?
I like the Phoenix for sure. Fits the theme pretty well. I do need a name for the new boat but the problem is I'm not sure what color it will be and I think that may have a role in the name. Appreciate the ideas!
You done good bud! Fantastic job and very detailed work!
Thank you
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats great work i need a live well where you get yours
unfortunately i do not have any social media except for youtube...sucks im missing out but thats the way she goes sometimes...amazing boat man you did a great job
