    John Boat Mod

    I've been searching the web for DIY mods, and there are thoushands of them. I'm curious to see if anyone has a mod they recommend, or have used along with pros/cons.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    I built a front and back deck for my Jon boat. It really makes my 14.6" boat fish much bigger. Have not put carpet down but it is treated and I use a throw rug for the front that I take off when I'm done fishing that way wet carpet isn't an issue. Put a 55lb thrust foot control on the front that pulls great and the boat is wired for lights and many accessories.

    I modified my 12' jon boat the same as Don...I put front decking in, with a storage compartment door and carpeted it. I then took the back seat of the jon and carpeted it too.....it turned out really sweet. I loved that little boat...great for little waters. I was sad I had to sell it .
