| Here are some pictures of my nearly completed boat. These
pictures show different stages, and may be useful as a reference to anyone
considering a
JONSBOAT project. I had a couple other builders send pictures to me
which proved to be helpful. My boat will be equipped with an old 10
hp Evinrude, and an electric motor. I installed a stern light, bow light,
and a clear light in front of the captains bench which may be useful in
tying hooks in the early morning.
As mentioned previously, I enclosed the
bench seats to accommodate the maximum amount of flotation possible. For
those that are building a Jonsboat, you may want to consider this before
you cut out those neat looking holes. I did not, and it caused a bit more
work. I also laminated some flotation foam to the underside of the bow
cover. This boat will soon be equipped with red padded fold down
swivel seats.
