If I didn’t need to keep it light I’d have a rod locker with the electronics on the outside of it. still might try it though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxd12 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Little update, built a small box-thing to hold a 12v power accessories power strip and a couple cup holders. Power strip will go on the inside face of the top, and cup holders down low. And obviously carpet. Been crazy at work, progress has been slowed!

chefchris Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I dig it man, can’t wait to see what the finished boat will look like. im on the fence about grabbing something similar like a 1448 Jon boat or building my other crawdad into a solo “bass boat style” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on some wheels for the rear right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxd12 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Lil update, got the 12v strip installed, some cupholders and the carpet. Only 1 screw in each panel right now to make sure fit is right. The top panel is removable so I can access wiring and route more wires kind of like a junction box.

Jinxd12 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Ground down all the old sealant around the outside of the rivets. I think it was old 3m 5200, looked like gunshot holes. Then I resealed with loctite Marine sealant, every single one on the bottom of the boat. I've done this many many years ago, not hard just time consuming. 3rd step I coated the entire bottom of the boat with a thick layer of white flex seal. Many people say "don't do it" BUT, I DID IT! We have used it at work to temporarily seal HVAC condenser coils etc. Worst case I have to touch it up, and do it again. For $40 (sealant, and Flex seal) I know she won't leak in the lil ponds I fish. Let me know what you guys think.

Jinxd12 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Working on a front trolling motor mount, 3 pieces of building steel angle. Need some stainless bolts and a lil wood. Will be adding a battery port in the floor, so the trolling motor will be a quick connect for front or rear use.

Jinxd12 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Figured I would update this! Using scrap parts and pieces I took from the electricians and mechanical guys at work. I built wheels for the ol' Jonny! 2 pieces of uni-strut 2 pieces of 3/4" rigid conduit 2 trailer cotter pins Some 3/8" nuts and bolts and plethora of drill bits and 2 $8 Harbor freight wheels. Total $21 and now I have wheels! Not the prettiest but damn sure the cheapest and most well built! StriperAddict and Hmoob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but I don't think I could get someone to give me a $500+ cart to take the wheels from! About to test this sucker out this morning. I will update later today!
