All great points and reasons -- Matt, you really make it hard to argue .... WAIT --- You wasn't lookin' for an argument; you said buy what makes you happy! :) This build will be more instruction; no one said it would be easy but it ain't complicated!!! Let's see where this goes shall we!?! Be Safe
That is something I do want to venture into, but I dont think it will be on this project. After seeing how many bolts went into the UHMW on the jetboat build i would definitely use the weld on anchors.
I have a big Jon boat with that has aluminum floor front and bad deck. 28 hrs old. 96” wide by 20’ long. Tunnel. That evidently has held water in middle see that now I am getting small holes in it mean8ng there is corrosion setting in. Is there any way to replace boor boat or just keep patching till time to throw away?
Great video, thanks! Question: what is the hull of this boat like? Absolutely flat, or does it have a gentle V? I am looking for an inexpensive boat to use in a strong river and in saltwater delta of the pacific ocean. Generally flat calm water, but occasional heavy chop and sudden squalls so it has to be sea worthy (inshore, along the mangroves). Is this the boat?
I been doing so much research and i think you got me set on this exact boat. I have no idea where i can find one here in CA though i cant find any info online. I want a hull under 6k
Is it fully flat on the bottom in the back or is there still some deadrise to it? I’m looking for a light mod v that comes to fully flat for duck hunting so I can slide over everything without problems
@timburton9514 idk? I love the nose on these weldbilts. They are my favorite rigs to build out. I just wish the had a rectangular gunnel cap instead of the pipe. It would save me hours...
Big guy at beginning of video you gave shootout to a place near you that is a alweld dealer, I think you said it was sports marina, am not sure about it, PLEASE GIVE ME CONTACT information I like to talk to them and maybe order some things from you, from Houston Texas keep up the great work 👍
Those side supports are intentionally not welded all the way in. Lots of designs call for pieces to not be welded fully to allow for flex, if you full weld it and make it rigid it will crack under stress.
Lets be foreal. Ive personal spoke to the guys at weldbilt. These weld locations are not specified by an engineer. It's up to who is working the shift your boat is built.
Awesome. I didn't realize you were in my area even after watching at least a dozen of your videos for the last few months while nerding out on jon boat mods. I just got ahold of a 1436 jon for me to learn how to mod, repair, and paint. I commute down to Elizabeth City, NC every day to work on aircraft down there. I have been watching everyone modify and create sheet metal work to modify aircraft for a very long while now as I was fabricating/installing aircraft wiring harnesses and much more. Maybe I will see you around some time.

Lund is not a bad boat at all. You don't see many of them in my area. I would say they are similar to tracker boats. Obviously, it would have to be a solid welded hull. Not the rivited versions.

Agreed! 1652 is the perfect size for a jon boat. Can't wait for the build. Always impressed man.
Thanks brotha
This is project X the whole 10 episode series is up on my channel
Just bought my first Jon boats. And got a weldbilt 16/48. You helped me with my homework. Thank you
Awesome. That's a great foundation to build on.
Weldbilts are so fire. Love my 1652. Can't wait to see the build brother.
Yessir coming soon!

Always on the grind!!! We need to have another tricked tins tournament and get the builds together!!!

great video. Since you asked, Id love to see a video of you doing UMHW to the bottom of the Weld Bilt!

This is a semi V
Thanks for the breakdown, super helpful
Np brotha
It was welded in position. Vertical tig on this stuff can be challenging.
If vertical tig is challenging for you then you shouldn't be welding boats. Js
I been doing so much research and i think you got me set on this exact boat. I have no idea where i can find one here in CA though i cant find any info online. I want a hull under 6k
G3 is nice too
Is it fully flat on the bottom in the back or is there still some deadrise to it? I’m looking for a light mod v that comes to fully flat for duck hunting so I can slide over everything without problems
It's pretty much flat. The v in the back is so small. You almost can not see it.
Cool boat. I don’t like the pointy front end. It’s wasted space. It looks cool though.
That's the best part. It cuts the water, and makes the bow super strong.

What is the maximum hp on a 1652?
Says 60 but ive seen 90s
Could you imaging a 90 on this??!!! 😂 I was thinking upgrading to a 40-50 tiller when I get back home
Can you run a surface drive on that thing?
Sure
How do they compare to the G3 welded 1548? Are the g3s decent?
Yes they are nice. Ive never built one out but id recommend G3
@@TRICKEDTINS I make impulse decisions,I just ordered a weldbilt 20 minutes ago lol love the video man
Was that price incuding the trailer?
Hull alone retail around $3500
