Wow man long time support means alot, appreciate you subbing and checking out the content. Will do the same. And yes it has and it has been a awesome ride modifying and upgrading the jon boat.
I added a 12p and it severely slowed me down with 2 people or 3. By myself the 12 porpoises, but with a 10p I run pretty good, sometimes hitting the limiter at WOT. I suspected an 11.5 could be the sweet spot. Do you have as much of a load on your boat, batteries, trolling motor and etc?
@@rustloversgarage Makes perfect sense. I totally understand, I love the water I can access with this boat. I will be upgrading one of these days as my family is growing and alog of them want to come fishing.
Thanks Donal. Yeah I'm always tinkering with the boat. Going to take it out for a speed test soon. Depending on how she runs, I may have to make some adjustments.
Man you’ve got an amazing rig right there! And for anyone who doesn’t know, he’s got all top notch equipment he’s added in there and put a LOT of work into it to make it what it is. GREAT JOB!

Nice set up. I've been binge watching your videos while I'm getting my kayak ready for a trip to Mark Twain lake in eastern Missouri. Thanks for keeping me company.
@@fishingistherapy I am just going for what I can catch. I've never been there before so I plan on just exploring and fishing. I'm a catch and release guy so I'm not picky about what I catch.
Dude that means alot. Glad you like the video and my setup. I watched alot of videos myself and felt I should put mine out there, glad it was received well.
Looks nice man. You could buy a Yatch for what you spent in upgrades. 😆 Im just getting back into fishing looking into Jon Boat ideas this video was a big help thanks.

Just discovered your channel. I have the itch to get a jon boat for me and the kids to get out on the water. All your mods are awesome. Thanks for the inspiration!
That's a huge part of why I bought my jon boat and why I made it as functional as possible. Glad you found inspiration in the video and my boat. Thank you for watching and hope you get that jon boat.
@Fishing Is Therapy thank you sir. I'm just in the early planning and research stages right now. Also a little surprised at some of the prices I've been seeing as well.
The seats are one of my favorite upgrades and the boat bucket work sp well on any size rods. It took me a while to actually purchase the trolling motor, but it has made life so much easier. Appreciate you watching and that you like the layout.
I can guarantee you won't regret them. I never feel uncomfortable sitting in them for extended periods of time. They are still warm in the winter and cool in the warmer months.
Awesome to hear man. Glad I could help and you found value in my boat and content as that was my goal in creating the video and doing all my mods. Let me know how it turns out. What are the dimensions of yours?

You gotta get some fishbite rod holders. They are strong, inexpensive, and look nice and in any color combo you want. You should do a rod rack on the back either a split bar, full bar, or T bar setup. If you are in SC I got a welder that can do it right.
Your right. As I get into catching more I will upgrade. I'm in north Georgia, would love to have them welded on, but I like to have the removable option
@@fishingistherapy mine is bolted on. If you wanna ride up around Charleston hit me up. My guy can get you right really reasonable and world class catfish here
@@fishingistherapy if you are gonna buy pre made, outta line rod racks are cool. But I really like the ones that go to the motor and make it to the corner and turn past a little, like L shaped, but somebody would have to make it for you. The straight bars are kinda basic and you've done too much to your boat to be basic. Lol and don't start looking at duck boat lighting packages
Yeah Greybears great that we are close. I'm venturing out more to try new lakes, I'm sure we will run into one another soon. The boat has changed my game, love my yak but on less then ideal weather days for the yak the boat makes it a no brainer and the mods I have makes it so effective and efficient. Thanks for supporting!
What a great video abd breakdown. Im also in Georgia. I'm looking to buy my first boat soon. Do you have any recommendations for some entry level spots to put in? Im near lake Lanier
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. That's awesome that you buying your first boat soon, you will enjoy it. This time of year is tough due to all the joyriding boaters on the water. I fish Lanier regularly and like to stay away from the main lake. Wahoo creek boot ramp, 6 mile creek boat ramp and little river boat ramp, little river being my least favorite. I would stick to the back of coves and creek arms until you get used to your boat.

Very nice job on your boat. I have a question, where you live, how many rods are you allowed to have out at a time? I live in Oregon and out here it is 1 or 2 depending on if you pay extra for a permit and if the lake or river allows 2 rods. Your Hydroturf job was very good. Have you considered getting a separate Li-Ion battery for your electronics, and leave your starting battery for bilge, running lights and big motor? Your boat is super dialed in.👍 tight lines and happy thanksgiving
Hey Brian. In Georgia there isn't a rod limit for general sport fishing except for 1 rod required for trout fishing and 2 rod limit for designated public fishing lakes which are only a few lakes that I don't frequent. Also I have only recently purchased a lightweight Dakota 23mah lithium battery to power my livescope setup I just got, otherwise all my electronics are still wires to my starting battery and the trolling motor has it's own dedicated deep cycle battery. If I had more room for a larger battery without sacrificing weight I would consider that but everything runs pretty smooth thrnway I have it. Hope that's insightful. I really appreciate you watching!
@MOOREFISH Very easy to service, I can easily reach all the parts unlike other outboards that discourage you from maintenance. I have no issue with service, I regularly maintenance mine and she runs like the first day I got her 2 years ago.
I would by a 16ft and make sure its 12 to 16 inches wider then it is, but could only fit a 14ft in my garage with the trailer. Glad you like the content. I appreciate you watching.
I had a tread plate floor underneath it. It was already welded and manufactured that way. I wanted trwad plate to prevent the slipping. But I just acetone it and stuck it down and it worked amazing.
Reads great. Sometimes the screws loosen, that may have occurred at the time I made that video, but I frequently check to ensure it's level before going out on the water because I want the best reading. Thanks for the insight.
How have you mounted the seats to the benches? I can't tell if you have access to under them to use bolts. I have Lund benches filled with foam so I'm trying to figure out seat mounts that will be secured in the wood top benches becauae its not aluminum top I can't rivet.
I had my seat bases custom welded. But the captains chair has a tilt and slide base welded to the side of the bench which is also my storage hatch. The passenger chair is mounted with a regular attwood base that you have to cut a hole to fit, but it is a livewell under that bench hatch.
@Heather Prosseda Means a lot. Glad the video was helpful and you got a lot out of it. I have updated a few things and will be putting out an update soon. Stay tuned.
I watchedbyour up grades on your video. I did not see your cell phone holder. Canyou tell me the brand and where to purchase the mount. I have subscribed to your channel

First time watching your video, Definitely like,subscribe . If nothing else you’d make one hell of a patch man for someone out there ha, Great job, excellent little boat, Also they do make a quick release slide for the terrova that allows it to slide back 6” when stowed, makes it easier for docking not having so mush motor hanging over bow Search minn Kota & bass pro, bp is where I got mine, off hand I can’t think of it’s actual name, but they have them, anyways great job young man
The rear rod holders I used a rivet nut and tool. Pretty sure it was M8 size I used. For the cannon rod holder I used half inch panhead #6 half inch screws. Hope this helps.
Very nice set up. Looks like you set it up perfectly and comfortable for you. Nice. Btw where’d you get the portable charger? Been looking for one that last at the least a full day. Thx

I have the wise 8WD70 sliding bracket on the captains chair with the base welded into the box. The passenger side is just a standard seat mount base from attwood welded into the box base.
I bought mine off tacklewarehouse because I wanted the black color for my boat, but Amazon has it available in white. Here is the link I used. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Stern_Saver_Mounts/descpage-STRNSV.html
@@fishingistherapy awesome!!! Thank you for your help! Enjoyed the video too. You have a sweet set up. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I remember my other question, how hot does the hydroturf get in the hot Georgia sun? Hotter than carpet? If you know a welder, have them weld you a base for your chairs to use on land when you camp. Those chair are the bomb! You can sit in them all day without your butt going numb.
That's a great idea, will see if I can make the mod happen. The hydroturf does nit get hot at all in the summer, carpet does, I can walk barefoot on my hudroturf no matter how hot it is. Best hot weather comfort purchase yet.l, besides my bimini top.

Beautiful boat! Look for big Jon boat like this, seems like the sweet spot between a kayak and bass boat. Great vid!
I agree. It was the sweet spot for me between both watercraft. Thank you for watching and glad you liked the layout.

Thanks I appreciate it, that was definitely what I was going for.
our boat is basically the same I have a modified V wellcraftwith the upgrade 20 hp adding a 11.5 propeller that will be all you will need

Glad you found the tips and mods useful. Yeah I love the strap downs I use, makes life so much easier.
Enjoyed the walk around. I am moving from a tournament bass boat to a jon boat for several reasons and got some info from this video. Thx!!
What are some of the reasons you're moving to a jon boat?
I fish a lot by myself and a smaller lighter boat is easier to load and unload. Also, I get in smaller, shallower places.
@@rustloversgarage Makes perfect sense. I totally understand, I love the water I can access with this boat. I will be upgrading one of these days as my family is growing and alog of them want to come fishing.

Might pick up a similiar engine to you. I run a 1436 & need some power for it
I don't think you can go wrong the 20hp Tohatsu, it has performed beyond my expectations.
@@fishingistherapy glad to hear that! How is the servicing?
@MOOREFISH Very easy to service, I can easily reach all the parts unlike other outboards that discourage you from maintenance. I have no issue with service, I regularly maintenance mine and she runs like the first day I got her 2 years ago.
@@fishingistherapy Roger Dat! Thank you for the information😁
Happy to help! Tightlines!
Some great ideas . Nice job
Thanks tried to make the mods simple but efficient to make life on the water better.
I just seen your channel and I liked your video. If you had it to do over would you buy a 14 or 16 foot boat?
I would by a 16ft and make sure its 12 to 16 inches wider then it is, but could only fit a 14ft in my garage with the trailer. Glad you like the content. I appreciate you watching.
Awesome setup 👏👏👏 a fishing machine thank you for sharing God bless you sir got a new sub.....
Thanks for supporting the channel and subbing. I appreciate you watching. More to come soon
This an awesome boat. We’ll done
Thanks. Had fun modifying it.
Thanks a bunch! Class act job. Hope I can make mine nice as well.
Glad you like the build, hope it assists in making your setup convenient and nice as well.
What do your floors look like? Did you build out a subfloor before putting laying that flooring material?
I had a tread plate floor underneath it. It was already welded and manufactured that way. I wanted trwad plate to prevent the slipping. But I just acetone it and stuck it down and it worked amazing.
Reference this video to see how I did it and what the floor looked like. ruclips.net/video/qXzhrTUw3jQ/видео.html
Do you know the shaft length of your trolling motor shaft? I'm gonna be purchasing me one soon. Thanks and be safe
It's a 54inch shaft, 55lb thrust. Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy yours. I definitely enjoy mine.
@@fishingistherapy thanks man,.....building my boat out is so much fun.. ...I got ocd...hahhaa lol be safe
@@buckreynolds1779 Same here😂! Be safe to you as well.
Is your transducer level both ways when it is the water? It looks like it’s crooked. It won’t read properly if it’s not.
Reads great. Sometimes the screws loosen, that may have occurred at the time I made that video, but I frequently check to ensure it's level before going out on the water because I want the best reading. Thanks for the insight.
Outstanding
Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
That's a great setup.
Thanks Dale, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and my build.
Hello what is the material of ground please
From france thank you
It's called Hydroturf- the specific kind I have is 3m backed Duck Camo color.
How have you mounted the seats to the benches? I can't tell if you have access to under them to use bolts. I have Lund benches filled with foam so I'm trying to figure out seat mounts that will be secured in the wood top benches becauae its not aluminum top I can't rivet.
I had my seat bases custom welded. But the captains chair has a tilt and slide base welded to the side of the bench which is also my storage hatch. The passenger chair is mounted with a regular attwood base that you have to cut a hole to fit, but it is a livewell under that bench hatch.
@Fishing Is Therapy thank you so much. I've taken a lot from your videos. Good energy too.
@Heather Prosseda Means a lot. Glad the video was helpful and you got a lot out of it. I have updated a few things and will be putting out an update soon. Stay tuned.
Great lookin boat!
Man I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed the mods and the content!
I watchedbyour up grades on your video. I did not see your cell phone holder. Canyou tell me the brand and where to purchase the mount. I have subscribed to your channel
Happy to help. Here is the link. Thank for subscribing, more video to come soon. ARKON Heavy Duty Drill Base Mount... www.amazon.com/dp/B00PZZYRFO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
What foam did you put in your boat it looks awesome
Thank you. I used 2 1/2 sheets of hydroturf "duck camo". Ordered directly from the hydroturf website. Type in duck camo.
@@fishingistherapy thanks a lot I’m trying to fix up a old jon boat I have from hunting and really appreciate it
@@shafergarner5503 Happy to help. Hope it turns out great!
Your boat looks great! I just subscribed to your channel. I'm hoping to get a similar boat for my son and I to go fishing with when we go camping.
Thanks for the support. Definitely think your son will enjoy this boat. You will also enjoy it overall. Very high quality.
Great video!
Greatly appreciated. More to come soon.
First time watching your video,
Definitely like,subscribe .
If nothing else you’d make one hell of a patch man for someone out there ha,
Great job, excellent little boat,
Also they do make a quick release slide for the terrova that allows it to slide back 6” when stowed, makes it easier for docking not having so mush motor hanging over bow
Search minn Kota & bass pro, bp is where I got mine, off hand I can’t think of it’s actual name, but they have them, anyways great job young man
Thank you Stacey. I am looking into the quick release now, very helpful advice. I appreciate you watching.
@@fishingistherapy
MKA-51
Is it, been using mine 8 yrs
This looks to have better design, mine is a pain half the time, but works
@@staceywhitehurst682 Nice. Thanks for the name. I like that one as well
How did you attach those rod holders?
The rear rod holders I used a rivet nut and tool. Pretty sure it was M8 size I used. For the cannon rod holder I used half inch panhead #6 half inch screws. Hope this helps.
Nice boat !
Thanks. Had a blast modifying it
Very nice set up. Looks like you set it up perfectly and comfortable for you. Nice.
Btw where’d you get the portable charger? Been looking for one that last at the least a full day.
Thx
I got my portable charger from Amazon. It came with 2 chargers and they are still holding strong today. Here is the link. www.amazon.com/dp/B07XFBN7HX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@fishingistherapy thank you!
Btw your the man! Not only cool man but king of your home. Luv that! I will take a guess…your wife is the video engineer/recording?
When the wife Godly and joyfully submits to her husband, both are immensely blessed of GOD.
Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber here.
@juliuscaesar8801 Thank you. Yes my wife is definitely the video engineer, very supportive and loves to help. Definitely the way it should be! I really appreciate your insight!
@@fishingistherapy continue to shower her with the love that GOD gives to you…thats all that is required…and thats all any woman desires. And she’ll do anything for you.
GOD over Christ
Christ over man
Man over woman
Woman over children.
God gives love to man, man gives that same love to woman, woman gives it to the children.
Keep that order, you will be both honored and blessed by GOD.
BE WELL
MAN
Indeed I will. This is the highest duty a man can have and I cherish it. Be well!
Taking notes👍
Glad you enjoyed the boat and content
Great video brother love the upgrades and the seats for sure
Thanks bro. Now I just need to get setup for night fishing. As always thanks for tuning in.
@@fishingistherapy hey brother maybe we can get up sometime and do some fishin
No problem. Where abouts are you located. I'm in Georgia Kennesaw area.
@@fishingistherapy I'm in Decatur,Alabama brother I'm on the road working ill be home in sept ready for some crappie fishin!!! I got a 1860 polarcraft I need to do some work too I got lots of packages waiting for me to install! Haha I need to seadek it maybe we could do a RUclips video for your channel!
That would be cool. I'm down for that. We can link up. Yeah the crappie fishing is going to pick up soon.
nice rig! good job!!
I appreciate that, she has treated me well. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Do you know what kind of mounts you have for your seats on the back boxes
I have the wise 8WD70 sliding bracket on the captains chair with the base welded into the box. The passenger side is just a standard seat mount base from attwood welded into the box base.
Really nice setup!
Definitely appreciate that man.
Where can I get one of those no drill transducer mounts?
I bought mine off tacklewarehouse because I wanted the black color for my boat, but Amazon has it available in white. Here is the link I used. www.tacklewarehouse.com/Stern_Saver_Mounts/descpage-STRNSV.html
@@fishingistherapy awesome!!! Thank you for your help! Enjoyed the video too. You have a sweet set up. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thanks, glad I could help, appreciate you watching. More coming soon
I remember my other question, how hot does the hydroturf get in the hot Georgia sun? Hotter than carpet? If you know a welder, have them weld you a base for your chairs to use on land when you camp. Those chair are the bomb! You can sit in them all day without your butt going numb.
That's a great idea, will see if I can make the mod happen. The hydroturf does nit get hot at all in the summer, carpet does, I can walk barefoot on my hudroturf no matter how hot it is. Best hot weather comfort purchase yet.l, besides my bimini top.
Nice work, subbed & fb.
Thanks for subbing. Glad you enjoyed the content.
So, This is the way you do a jon boat. Looks like lots of cash even without the go pro. ; )
Hey I did it on a budget, one small addition at a time. Glad you enjoyed the content.
Awesome
Great vid!!!!
Thanks, appreciate the support
This is one nice boat
Appreciate it man. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Also what kind of flooring did you use?
Duck Camo Hydroturf. I used 2 1/4 sheets.
Nice job bro
Appreciate it bro. Glad you tuned in.
What's the length on that trolling motor?
It's a 54inch shaft
Great ideas
Thanks, glad you found the ideas useful.
