I have a 14 foot jon boat that i was thinking about making into a small flats boat. What i want to do is put a fiberglassed deck on the front and a poling platform on the back. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make a poling platform or deck or just if anyone had ever done anything like this to a 14 foot jon boat. Just looking for ideas.
Good things come to those who bait!
Another great website to ask is tinboats.net.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
Reel Wicked: I tried to look at that web site you posted and my Norton blocked a virus that came along with it:face_with_head_bandage:
Something is definitely wrong then, because I’ve visited microskiff.com a LOT over the past year and never had a problem.
Saying “I am offended” is telling everyone else that you cannot control your own emotions, and thus you need everyone else to do it for you.

Yeah Bob! I’ve sent a few people your way. New baby and new projects around the house have had me slow around the shop playing. We should have a charleston fishing dinner here in cola one night!

Cangrats on the new baby David. Jeremy has the most beautiful 6 month old girl. we are so happy to be grand parents.
