- In this video I give y'all a quick rundown on the Sun Dolphin American 12 Jon Boat. I've been fishing out of this for several years and have spent a LOT of time in it, so I've got some experience with both the good and the bad! This is a 12' plastic hull jon/mini pond bass boat that really excels for being able to throw in the truck bed and running down to your local pond or keeping on the side of the lake for super quick and easy access. Not bad for a $700 tiny boat! Let me know what y'all think about it!

These are on sale right now at Tractor Supply for $599
That's great!
$999 CAD here in Canada that's $300 less than during Covid. Gonna pick one up

I just got one off facebook marketplace for $700 with a trolling motor, battery and fish finder included. Took me 6 months to finally find a good deal on one but its worth it sometimes to buy one thats barely been used
Thank you for this. Looking into buying one of these.
How many people have you fished with in there?
So I looked at these a while back there around $700 bucks , maybe more now? They would be great if they had an actual bow casting platform , just like bass boats or flats skiffs, there great for one person out site fishing as you have the front trolling motor bracket built in , don’t know if they have reinforcement inside the bracket mount ? But aluminum cover would help , I agree those ribs in the bottom are more for reinforcement to stiffen the bottom as they are water traps and are uncomfortable to stand on I think they could have gotten the same effect with shorter ribs , now and this is me , I’m a retired fiberglass boat builder of 32 yrs , I’ve searched around and didn’t find anyone that builds these like for saltwater , if the manufacturer would build these in 14-16’ ft , had a bow casting platform forget the mid seat , they can’t sit on the bow platform , this would leave room for a removable cooler that could be a seat , make it tiller drive or a small side console put a plastic non rotting transom reinforcement and put a rear poling platform on it , all stainless steel bow eye and stern eyes on it with a couple rope cleats , bow trolling motor mount and an optional bow keel protector , they would sell like hot cakes , they would beat out the competition of high end flats skiffs and big bucks bass boats industry, and the way times are right now people can’t👈🏼afford big boy toys , that boat would get people on the water , now outboard motors ( ha that’s a whole different thing 💸💸💸) maybe sun thing used and cheap ! And keep the price around $ $1500, no motor or trailer , separate price . Opp’s forgot fill the hull to deck with flotation foam it would be unsinkable !
Man, that's a great idea. They would be crazy popular. Sounds like you have a solid business idea...
I see a canoe in the back, which do you prefer for fishing?
If it's just me I prefer the canoe. I've been in them my whole life and am very comfortable with canoes and kayaks. When taking the kids out I'll stick them in the jon boat though sometimes
Looking to buy this exact boat. Would a small electric trolling motor be enough power?
What are you planning on using it for?
I’ve got one with a 50lb thrust scoots me and my dad around just fine
Could you use it in a small river?
I've taken this on a Great Lake. Not great in choppy waters, but if the weather is good this boat can go anywhere
Stick a six horse outboard on there.. test it out..
Let us know
Hey, you get me an outboard and I'll put it to the test! 😂
@emeraldtidesoutdoors I've got a tohatsu 6hp on my 1436..
Bring your boat over..we'll try it out
What is the weight capacity
500 and change pounds
I'd have to double check to be sure but I think it's like 565 or something
