You give the TBN boys the same budget and they would blow this boat out of the water. Kind of disappointed in Ike for not giving them a plug or even getting them to do the build.
This blows away the TBN guys .sorry... it's a next level boat. Clean beyond clean...proofs in the build. If you buy a boat u don't know.if u build a boat u know.
Love watching ikes videos, being a fisherman born and raised in Gloucester county, it’s a struggle down here. All the lakes are over fished and there’s so many restrictions, bought a tracker 160 with a 9.9 because it’s the best all around for what our area has to offer. Saw Ike once on union years ago as a teen, hope to see u out there again so I can check this tiny boat out! Anyone in the comments reading this not from south jersey probably thinks the boat is excessive and dumb, but man, that thing is perfect for NJ.
Wow! Congrats, Ike!!! This is like drooling over an Earth Roamer or G wagon... but I drive Jeep Wranglers and my Coleman Crawdad is a plastic jon boat, lol. Oh well...my bass boat gets the call 90% of the time nowadays. This IS the trickest tiny boat ever, I gotta say. Look forward to seeing some vids of you using it soon.
Hey Mike I just stumbled across this video. I was working with Dave when he was building the boat. What a great job!! Lots of fun going to be had on that rig.wish you the best.thanks for the video
That's incredible. Let's see do I want a 12 foot Kayak or Boat like that? That's incredible how you got all of that in 12'. You're set up now for any type of water! Enjoy.
Sweet tiny boat. Everything is well thought of and nicely executed. What happened to the wiring in the back hatch? Maybe a cover over the top of all those batteries needs to be made. But anyways what an awesome sled.
IKE I freakin' love love love your passion for the Fishing Industry bro !!! I live in North Bama so most of the club guys I fish and compete against think you have to be Cool, Calm and Collective on the water while fishing.....BUMP THAT, I catch a good one and get on em late in the day right before Weigh In and I lose my &^%$.....not as well as you but I try, LOL. Keep doing your thing my man, you are a pleasure to watch on MLF.
Now, the trick is incorporating your tackle. I have a Ranger bass boat and a 14ft Piranha skiff. I tried but you cannot carry all the tackle you carry in your bass boat in the smaller boat. My tip is a simple one. Find the smaller Plano or whatever your favorite brand smaller size tackle storage box. I then went and converted all of by normal size boxes to the smaller one. Now, when your shuffling tackle from boat to boat it is a seamless share. Both boats now accept the smaller boxes and it makes sharing tackle a snap. I know how many boxes I can carry which is approximately 9-10 plus when you go back to the bass boat it is a seamless integration.
Wow, the work and time put into this project is impressive and appreciated. Thing looks awesome! My first thought, though, is safety. That's a small boat with a narrow beam. All the accessories, decking, live well, big trolling motor, etc. Equals quite a bit of weight. Moreover, the passenger's center of gravity is placed high. I can't imagine walking on that platform to fish. It won't take much - a slip, stumble, boat wake - to push this vessel beyond the threshold of its primary stability. I have to question whether the function of the hull has been diminished. I know the goal is to make a small boat more functional, but not at the expense of the hull's abilities. Not a hater! These builds are sweet
Sick boat man! Do you ever come up to NY? I’m right over the northern NJ border in Rockland and would love for my son to meet you. I got him into fishing last year and he’s a huge fan. His present this year was your Ike Dude spinning combo and he loves it!! Do you ever take fans out with you? He would go nuts!!
So many things about that set are amazing. I like how he set the motor back so it doesn’t block the transducer signal. How far does the pole stick up? Wondering if that would fit under a standard garage door opening. I use an anchor but it is such a pia. Love it man
Dang right that thing is sharp! Need to get started tricking my jon boat out! Maybe I can win the giveaway and put that towards my boat and worry about getting a bixpy or torqeedo for yaks later on. 😉
Sick ass build. Much like mine but way cleaner!Better swap lead batteries to lithium. Thats a ton of weight in that 12’. More importantly, theyre voltage stable in storage so u dont risk frying your fancy electronics. Ask me how i know….🤣
Excluding the trolling motor, batteries and outboard what is the weight difference between the bare hull Jon boat and then after all of the modifications? And.....is that a 1236 series boat? It appears the boat might be close to its rated weight capacity without any people in it. Outstanding workmanship though...😎😎😎
TBN defiantly give this boat a run for it's money. TBN is possibly a little nicer don't get me wrong this boat is nicer then my Lowe rough neck full rigged bass boat . Check out TBN
You are missing the point. A lot of lakes have a motor size restriction. So do a lot of small water tournaments. He also has an image to keep up to keep sponsors happy.
That is Fucking awesome. i actually have the same boat but nothing on it. honestly what you got into that big Mike? and or how do you get a hold of the genius who built it
Great boat!! I am a bit surprised that the boys from TBN were not mentioned. True trail blazers in the tiny boat industry! Congrats
You give the TBN boys the same budget and they would blow this boat out of the water. Kind of disappointed in Ike for not giving them a plug or even getting them to do the build.
U got it bro!
This blows away the TBN guys .sorry... it's a next level boat. Clean beyond clean...proofs in the build. If you buy a boat u don't know.if u build a boat u know.
There is a lot of boat builders that may be better than tbn boys no jock
That's a beauty! Now take her out on the water and show us how she performs!
LMFAO. that’s a killer little rig man.
A 12ft rig with a hydraulic jack plate.
You are the man Ike!
Awesome job nicely designed 👍👍👍love the BCB seats nice touch..... go get um IKE 👍👍👌👌👀👀👏👏

That is a work of art!! This tiny boat is on another level of awesomeness.
Awsome boat ike! Well worth the wait!
The king of pimp my Jon boat
PIMP MY BOAT! I dig it!
This little boat is freaking awesome! I almost lost it when I seen the jackplate lol! Baddest 12 footer in the game!
My favorite fisherman
That’s my childhood dream right there that’s an incredible build !!
Wow! Congrats, Ike!!! This is like drooling over an Earth Roamer or G wagon... but I drive Jeep Wranglers and my Coleman Crawdad is a plastic jon boat, lol. Oh well...my bass boat gets the call 90% of the time nowadays. This IS the trickest tiny boat ever, I gotta say. Look forward to seeing some vids of you using it soon.
That Doctor Octagon at the end was awesome.
Ike! What a sweet build.. You have to post fishing videos on it asap.. Can't wait to see it in action. Congrats!
I’ll take this boat over any tiny boat Iv ever seen
I love it. I also feel like you could buy a brand new tracker 195twx for what that cost to build lol. (I'm just guessing)
Oh yeah tracker builds the same quality for sure.....
I’m guessing 20k went in to that boat. The SeaDek alone must e been 2 grand.
Amazing IKE now that’s what i’m talking about Tiny bass boat man!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎣🎣🎣🎣
there at the end I thought he was going to do an Ed Bassmaster impersonation “Just look at it!! “ 😂
Sickest tiny boat ever.
i think thats every kids dream right there congrats dude.
Hey Mike I just stumbled across this video. I was working with Dave when he was building the boat. What a great job!! Lots of fun going to be had on that rig.wish you the best.thanks for the video
Sick boat!!! Super clean setup!!
Mike, that is one sweet boat!!! Can't wait to see the fishing vids with it!!! So jelly! :)
Absolutely fantastic Mike unbelievable really beautiful boat hope you enjoy it 👍
Sick build! Nice work Dave!
Super sweet tiny boat !!
That is an incredible boat.
TBNATION GUYS are AWESOME
Happy Turkey day Ike! What a boat
That boat looks awesome 👌 👏. Should have given a shout out to TBN...Mr Lopez. 🤔
Sweet tiny boat. My dream boat would be a tunnel hull built on the 1754sc grizzly platform.
Sick boat. Luck to have it. Enjoy. Aloha braddah.
That is an absolute masterpiece. A piece of art for sure ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🎣 I was cracking up when he said you need a full live well haha hell yeah
So sick! Go Ike!
sweet boat mike
A NJ special. Perfect.
That's incredible. Let's see do I want a 12 foot Kayak or Boat like that? That's incredible how you got all of that in 12'. You're set up now for any type of water! Enjoy.
Mike that thing is sweeeeeet! I just want a simple 12 footer with a trolling motor, fish finder and casting deck as my first boat.
Haha I wanna see you take Ed Bassmaster out fishing!!!
Very cool Mike
The most expensive 12 foot john boat in the 🌎 world! Dope.
Is it made out of gingerbread?
Coolest boat ever!
Sweet tiny boat. Everything is well thought of and nicely executed. What happened to the wiring in the back hatch? Maybe a cover over the top of all those batteries needs to be made. But anyways what an awesome sled.
Frikin sweet nice boat 🔥💯👍
IKE I freakin' love love love your passion for the Fishing Industry bro !!!

Keep doing your thing my man, you are a pleasure to watch on MLF.
I think i might even use that in a bass nation tourny at a lake i know haha. that is an amazing boat
nice dr octagon track at the end!
I just literally found my goal!! Forget the full size bass boat I want one of these!!!!
Yea until you get in some 6 ft waves. Lpl
post the guys info so we can check him out
When are we going to see this baby in action? Sweet looking boat. I wonder how the spot lock will work with such a light boat.
It will be too sensitive. I have a Garmin Force on a 13 ftr and even with the sensitivity on 1 it is too much
Now, the trick is incorporating your tackle. I have a Ranger bass boat and a 14ft Piranha skiff. I tried but you cannot carry all the tackle you carry in your bass boat in the smaller boat.

Man that’s awesome
no one mentions the fact that he is bumpin' Dr. Octagon at the end!!!
AWESOME....VERY NICE...
incredible tiny boat... wow....
Very cool!
Nice NJ special!
So what happened to the 16.5 Tracker he did for a few years ago?
That is badass !!!! 👍🏾👍🏾🧨🧨
dam that’s nice .. i just gota lowe 1240 and have over 6 grand tied up in it already ....that boat is on a whole different level ....
Pretty awesome!
Very Cool Video.. I remember seeing this boat at the Classic. I have some pics of it..
This is a different one. That one was a Tracker 165 , this is a 1240 lowe
Unfreakinbelievable!!!
I thought when I rigged my 16 starcraft from 1967 for fishing bluefin tuna off New Jersey I was thrown off. Will that float with all that weight 😆
Similar to mine. I like it. I have Minnkota edge, 2 helix 7, micro power pole. I need stereo now.
I wish they could do mine!! I have a 1965 aluminum craft v haul with a ssn# 2. LOL!!
Wow, the work and time put into this project is impressive and appreciated. Thing looks awesome!

WHAT!?? Ike listens to Dr. Octagon?!! Dope!
Mike, how do we get a hold of Dave?
So sweet!👌
This thing is sick but it's gotta be exceeding the weight limit
So many things about that set are amazing. I like how he set the motor back so it doesn’t block the transducer signal. How far does the pole stick up? Wondering if that would fit under a standard garage door opening. I use an anchor but it is such a pia. Love it man
Bill Collier you can lower them to fit in the garage
Dang right that thing is sharp! Need to get started tricking my jon boat out! Maybe I can win the giveaway and put that towards my boat and worry about getting a bixpy or torqeedo for yaks later on. 😉
holy shit that is awesome
Nice little setup, but im betting there is no way that boat is now under the weight capcity for a 12 foot Jon boat.
Kool Keith 😎
Amazing...Amazing 👏 👏 👏
Check out @TinyBoatNations channel..
Where can I send my boat to get done like this? I live in Maryville, Tn., just south of Knoxville.
Sick ass build. Much like mine but way cleaner!Better swap lead batteries to lithium. Thats a ton of weight in that 12’. More importantly, theyre voltage stable in storage so u dont risk frying your fancy electronics. Ask me how i know….🤣
It that boat a Lowe 1240? I am thinking of getting that one and am curious about the stability.
Excluding the trolling motor, batteries and outboard what is the weight difference between the bare hull Jon boat and then after all of the modifications? And.....is that a 1236 series boat? It appears the boat might be close to its rated weight capacity without any people in it. Outstanding workmanship though...😎😎😎
That. Is. Dope.
IMHO, Too Busy and Overbuilt for a 12' Jon Boat!!!
Sweet !
Badass!
The ultimate tin boat build would be No tin boat!
What speed will it run.......looks really heavy.....
TBN defiantly give this boat a run for it's money. TBN is possibly a little nicer don't get me wrong this boat is nicer then my Lowe rough neck full rigged bass boat . Check out TBN
What is the Weight compacity for that boat?
Is gone be that for you or fur Vegas the Hammer??😍
Just one battery cost more than my whole boat.
Now he just needs to take it to a painter and get it painted bright red with gold flake.
I only watch videos of Mike when he’s yelling, which means I end up watching every video..
On your ultimate small boat, what is the fuel capacity and where is it located
Shit you could get a bass tracker for the price tag on that.
You are missing the point. A lot of lakes have a motor size restriction. So do a lot of small water tournaments. He also has an image to keep up to keep sponsors happy.
No link to Dave’s stuff tho
That is Fucking awesome. i actually have the same boat but nothing on it. honestly what you got into that big Mike? and or how do you get a hold of the genius who built it
Does Dave build tiny boats for the general public?
