  • 12' plastic jon boat stability test! Honestly, this boat is way more stable than I ever thought. Although it's wobbly and more tippy than the pontoon style Pond Prowler, it's certainly never going to flip with just myself in the boat. Now, add someone else, also putting their weight on the gunnels and I sure she flips right over. BUT, it is a 12' boat! Bonus fishing as well.

    Hey Greyson , my advice on making a false floor would be to get PVC sheeting , ( available at Home Depot , ) you could possibly get away with 1/2” you could glue vinyl or paint it non skid ,whatever and it’s impervious to water and durable and be used to make a removable casting platform with a door access , now I gotta say it’s pretty stable and when you compare the price of kayak’s to this boat , I’ll take that boat any day ! More room , stability, and it’s great to fish out of , it’s great that they have the trolling motor mount in the bow , I had one made out of 1/4” welded alum it was over a hundred bucks 😳💸, not in my budget, I’m all about cheap small boat builds , the minncota 55 lb saltwater Rip tide used from goodwill was only $35 bucks, just got two deep cycle electric wheel chair batteries at a yard sale five bucks each ! Your skinny water cruiser is coming along nicely, that top is a great way to keep ya from becoming a piece of jerky out there , what’s the max hp motor you can put on it ?

      6 hp it says, But ive seen people go all the way to a 20 hp motor. I would say a 9.9-15 hp is your best bet but a 6 would get you on plane too

    1/2" treated plywood is plenty rigid enough for the bottoms and even decks if you go that route.

    I was completely sold on the prowler but the more of these videos I watch I'm starting to lean toward one of these. My only fear is I weight about 2 of you lmao

      Then you might like the prowler better! Definitely more stable

      I’m in the same boat (pun most definitely intended) as you. I go about 230 so I’m thinking the prowler may be the better choice for me.

      I just got to try out both boats today. While the prowler is more stable I'm coming from a canoe so the jon boat is still more stable than that. I'm still on the fence of which one I want to buy but I'm leaning toward the jonny just because I'll be able to cover more water.

    My Twin Sister lives in FL. On the gulf. I'll be flying in before the summer is out. We should link up and go fishing Greyson.

    I bought a rubber door matt from Home Depot for the bottom of the boat. It's nice to walk on now. 👍

      I’ve been considering that! Wasn’t sure which one to get or if it’ll fold into the ribbed flooring

    These are great boats as long as people don't do stupid things like over power, over load, or rough conditions.
