A point that is always neglected is the fact that most places require your vessel to be registered once a motor is placed on it

I still have a 12 Ft Starcraft (V-hull) since the 1970's. Ocean, Big water resevoire, River, lake and whatever. Cartoped it for many 1000's miles. A 15 Hp Johnson will plane 4 persons pluss gear. You never know when it starts to blow and it gets choppy. Prefer the v-hull to the jon boat

I agree the metal jonboat is the best conversion base and the best cheap boat. I bought my new 12 foot lowe jonboat for $1000 new in 2017. Get the widest bottom you can, the 32 inch bottom width is no wider than most canoes and very tippy. Mine has a 40 inch wide bottom and is a stable platform to mount a duck blind and shoot out of.

I have a 14' tracker with the trailer and an 8hp mercury, all brand new in 2022. Its the perfect set up for fresh water fishing and cruising with two people. It will SCOOT with the engine too, faster than you think haha.

Can you do a video on motors/cost that would be good with these boats?

[ddhh]

I have an older grumman sport boat with a 4.5 evinrude that i got for 450. The motor was immaculate. The boat not so much but it doesn't leak and has treated me well for the last few years.

Had a 12 foot Jon boat when was a kid. Lots of good times. I dreamed of having a 14 ft Jon, and then a 15 foot Whaler….alas, life happens.

[benbradley]

Where do I find the water tender? I want it for a row boat.I have kayaks, and I don't like the instability of them, getting in and out.

[locker]

Great informative video. Quick and right to the point. Love it.

[jjlbridge]

What motor and size do you have on the tracker? Looking for my first boat. This helps. Thanks for posting.

[keronackles]

So question on the tracker is it worth 1500 with trolling motor and fish finder on it with a outboard motor

[gregoryjones-hson]

I have a Coleman crawdad, (pelican) it is very stable we fish 2 out of it standing casting. Maybe they changed the design when pelican bought them out.

[jenniferstewarts]

you know one thing i thing would be neat is if these companies like sundolphin (12 foot john boat) would make actual addon's for their boats.

for example for that unstable sundolphin, picture a pair extendable pontoons. when retracted they are tight against the hull, but extended they slide out to maybe 2' away from the boat... this gives the boat a much wider beam increasing stability. It could alsy increase the max loading of the boat as they start at only about 500 lbs.

Next, picture a slide in Cuddy cabin, now your little john boat has a place to hide from the rain and gives it somewhat of an extended range option.

Finally with the cuddy cabin on, maybe a biminy top for the back :) now you have a 12' flat bottom cuddy cabin cruiser... with a little 8 hp kicker motor, you can go on long camping trips solo or with friend dropping anchor resting in the cabin...

[oldflorida]

What happened to prices on jon boat, its outrageous

[suavelifestyle]

flat bottom boats are more stable just not good for choppy waves

[Infovince]

Pelican Intruder 12 is the better option in my opinion.

[thedailyruns]

Those saturns are very vesitile and probably have more reañ footage from users than most other "real" boat brands.

[kramert]

Was I tripping or did that guy with the neon green sleeve have his motor on the front of his boat😅

[animesports]

Anyboat recommended for 300 pound fisherman with one other

[hotkm]

Yeah, I need a boat under a thousand dollars so I can go clean up around my yacht...
