My custom Jon Boat Modification Project

Back




This is a video that shows the modifications I made to my 1977 Sea King Jon Boat. The motor is a 5 HP Air Cooled Briggs & Stratton. Total project took about 6 days of work and quite a few beers. You can read a detailed write up on the project at.... http://jackspirko.com/theboatproject.php The Background Music is as follows 1. Southern Cross - The Jimmy Buffett Version. 2. Born Country - By Alabama 3. It's 5 O'clock Somewhere - Allan Jackson with Jimmy Buffett

Hey i really like you video and i have watched it so many time. I think you should make another video and post it. Maybe of you fishing or running the boat or an overview on the water? I dont know but you really should do another video of your boat. Hope to see one soon. :-)

Great video. I dont know how many times i've watched this video for ideas. They are great little boats. Great job on the boat. By the way what is ""academy"" or something like that, that you got lots of those parts from like the live well water pump and the 12 volt cigarette lighter. Please comment and let me know. Once again great job on the boat.
