Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page: Results 1 to 20 of Jon Boat to mini bass boat conversion-minimum beam width for a boat to deck out? Looking at a few jon boats by me- seeing several 14 foot models ranging from 50" to 55" beam width from top of rail to other rail in middle of boat - do you suggest I go with minimum of a 60" beam rail to rail measuring across the top or is a 55" beam width model suitable for decking out a jon boat making it into a mini bass boat? Most concerned with stability and trying not to find out I built a boat that was too narrow beam width wise Or do guys feel a 14ft v hull is better suited for a conversion boat? I think a Tracker Grizzly is the perfect size. I used angle and box aluminum for the frame with ss rivets and marine plywood for the decks. Tracker

Any other opinions would be greatly appriciated.

Jet jon boats known as jet ski jon boat hybrids have become more common on many rivers. These are unique and usually custom-built jon boats which are powered by jet drive. If you like to fish in narrow areas, you may find it hard to get anywhere you want to go. This is because if you use a regular outboard engine, your prop is always exposed and therefor in continuous danger.

October 23, Want to convert your Jon Boat into a bass boat? Follow our comprehensive guide to assess, plan, and transform your boat. Learn about choosing the right equipment, removing unwanted features, and adding necessary features for a successful conversion. Consider the size and weight capacity of your Jon boat. Bass boats typically require more space and have higher weight capacities to accommodate the additional features and equipment. Evaluate whether your Jon boat meets these requirements or if modifications are necessary. Assess the stability of your Jon boat.

If you have any questions let me know. RTV and vinyl tubing can be your friends. I added 2 bass seats to the rear bench. Starting on the floor joists. I think a Tracker Grizzly is the perfect size. JSC Posted April 24, For small lakes where speed or horsepower is limited, it doesn't make sense to take a bigger boat. I am reinforcing the inside of the the transom with 1" ply so hopefully it won't flex on me. Chris - thank you for bringing us along for the conversion! Dec 17 Chris Haller Slot Fish. I started off wanting a small jon boat with a trolling motor for hand carry lakes on Long Island. If stability is a factor get the widest beam you can - in a Jon boat - 48 at least.

Converting jon boats into bass boats has really taken off in popularity over the last few years. And for good reason!
