Thanks for the input on taking the seat out. As to your question about the v-hull being called a john boat, well the only thing I can say is around here this boat is commonly known as a John boat or Utility boat. I believe the proper name for the boat is Utility boat.
I have a 1980 16ft V hull, all welded aluminum jon boat that I am currently restoring. I am wanting to open the floor up a bit by taking out the middle bench seat. My concern is that I will be compromising the integrity of the entire boat if I take this seat out. The seat is welded to the side...
Do you have a suggestion as to the wood that would be the best to use? How about the paint? I plan on using the Rustoleum Hammered paint on the inside of the boat. Will that work for the plywood too or should I choose something else?
I have a 16ft all welded aluminum v bottom jon boat that I am needing to replace the transom on. I have been doing allot of research on the subject but have not quite found the information I am looking for so I'm hoping that you guys can help. The old transom on this boat is completely rotten...
