there goes the transom on my boat!

I'm super excited about this little boat project.  It's going to be alot of fun zooming around the flats and enjoying this thing.  If you want to see this little thing come together be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of the upcoming videos.

This clip from my longform content as i begin to take apart my little jon boat to prep it for a complete rebuild.  

Meet the boat that started it all.  Back in 1998 I bought my first boat.  It was a 1982 Glasstream 14’ Jon Boat.  I would have never thought back then that that little boat would lead to a life time passion and love for the water, but it truly was truly the seed that brought me to where I am today.  These little Jon boats are super popular on inland lakes.  Many people do a Jon boat to bass boat conversion by adding a plywood front deck and back deck and in fact I did just that to this boat way back in the day. I would fish it like this on the lakes of Pennsylvania for bass with my buddies.   That was later removed and it was returned to more of a regular Jon boat by my brother and would run the rivers of Connecticut on it fishing for strippers.  Later it was stripped again and rigged out to use for Alligator hunting here in Florida by my brother in law. 

My goal with this little Jon boat now is to keep it simple and to build it out for the flats and inland waters of South Florida.  It has been used and abused for many years just like a little boat like this should be but it’s time for a restore.  Follow along as I chop up this Jon boat and make rebuild it not to her former glory but into something even better.  

Thank You so much for taking the time to watch my content.  I truly enjoy making these videos and hope you enjoy watching them.  I have no dreams of becoming the next greatest YouTuber, but it is encouraging to me to keep post videos if you subscribe and like.  I hope to see you back here again.  

Hope you enjoy this series.  

Thanks,
Tim
