    YES SIR!!!! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!! The boat is officially christened. You should have given those fish a walk around the boat before tossing them back, lol. Man, your brother got me geeked up commentating at the beginning. I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat waiting on a catch, lol. Way to go. I do enjoy watching you guys fish.

      Hey Cornell. It's hard to quote a price because it all depends on what you include in your build. It can be a budget build or you can spend $3,000 or more. Then add in motor(s) and fish finder(s) if you need them. doing it yourself definitely gives you the flexibility to decide how much you spend.

    By the way, there is a way to have the switch lights on your panel to only come on when they are switched “ON” if you change the existing pin location on the back of the panel. I found a vid here on YT, sure you could find it if you search.

    @144hb 4 года назад

    Thank you for the videos, really great work sir! Now that you have it on the water what changes / mods would you have made? I know you are coming out with more on this topic . . . ? I am working on a boat myself and wondering . . .
    1. How is the carpet holding up as it was applied to the bench seat directly? (Over painted surface)
    2. some other builds use some serious water mitigation in the hatch/dry storage compartments, is this something that you have found to be worth to effort in future builds? would you advocate for something to this degree?

    • @BassBrothersFishingDMV
      @BassBrothersFishingDMV  4 года назад +1

      Great questions. The carpet is holding up great. One thing I noticed is its not as plush anymore with use and sun wear. I went with 16 oz carpet for thickness and comfort but I'd prob go with 20 oz next time. I would also leave my hatches a little tighter than I did. The hatches will naturally open and close smoother with use so no need to have them completely loose with the initial install. Regarding water mitigation. I've been caught out in storms twice so far and my hatches took in minimal water (droplets). I did bore holes is my hatch bins just in case though. I could see where building dry hatches makes sense if you plan to fish in the rain or live in an area with allot of flash storms but for now not worth the effort for me.
      Do differently... From a weight standpoint I would look into all aluminum decking instead of wood. My wood is holding up perfectly but I know I could have saved on weight using aluminum. Just something to think about from a weight and speed perspective. Heavier boats ride slower with small engines.
      All in all everything is performing great and I'm VERY satisfied.

      @144hb 4 года назад

      @@BassBrothersFishingDMV Thank you for the reply, Intriguing thought on the aluminum versus Ply for the decking or subfloor for that matter. . . What gauge aluminum do you think would foot the bill? .08? less/more?
      BTW what was the thickness of the ply you used for your build? Thanks for the content, thanks for the inspiration!

    How stable is the 1448. I’ve notice It has a 70 inch beam which is quite big for a 14ft Jon boat. I’d imagine it’s pretty stable.

    • @BassBrothersFishingDMV
      @BassBrothersFishingDMV  4 года назад

      This is the flat bottom which is very stable. But you sacrifice speed if that's important to you. I wanted stability more than anything else so the flat bottom does that.

      Bass Brothers Fishing DMV I love your boat and I love how wide it is. When I’m older I would love to have a little affordable boat such a as a Jon boat, and I would like to convert it to a bass boat as well. But one thing that I really want is a side console. Do you think it would be possible to put a little side console on a boat like this. If I’m able to put a side console on a boat like this then that boat would literally be my dream boat.

      @BassBrothersFishingDMV  4 года назад

      Its about 50/50. I use the seat less when I'm running the gas motor but when I'm on electric only lakes the seat comes in handy cause I'm up front on the trolling motor all day. I will say that the seat gets in my way little cause I like to stand and move around the boat allot as I fish. I'm not really a sit down and fish type of guy.

    • @BassBrothersFishingDMV

      @@PrimeTimeFishingwithRobG I don't think deck makes the boat more stable. If your boat is unstable before adding a deck it will be unstable after. The deck only helps you fish easier. If you want stability focus on the style of boat you're buying. I.e. flat bottom vs v-hull. Flat bottoms are the most stable jon boats.
