No kayak here but I have a jon boat project I'm working on. It's got a few rivits that need patching and a good paint job and she'll be ready for the water. I picked up a 2.5hp merc to scoot her thru the water... Here's a pic of when I got it. It was pretty rough...lol

Here is where she sits today. I am in the process of repainting it now as I wasn't happy with the forrest green I painted it. Will be patching the rivits this weekend and getting her ready for the water...

Awesome man! I've wanted a Jon boat for awhile now. I figure one could be found cheap.

How much, if you don't mind my asking, was your Jon boat?

Nice project boat! A while ago I was thinking of picking up a little jon boat, but couldn't find anybody that was realistic in their pricing for what they were selling. The more I thought about it, the more I realized I wouldn't really be able to use the thing as much as I was thinking I would, so I dropped the idea. It still comes and goes though...

You say you weren't happy with the forest green...what color are you painting it?

Totally forgot about this thread...lol I ended up repainting it olive drab green. I actually got it for free from my father inlaw. I have since aquired another jon boat thats a little bigger and more stable. I'll post up a pic of that shortly. Here is an updated pic of the first boat.
