Team Beaver Fever Budget Bass Jon Boat Build

Playing with pool toys will give Johnny something to do while he is just sitting there doing nothing. I, I, I mean in between him catching ALL his fish! Pay no attention to his team name "Nocatchem", LOL !

stratos liked my design and said he was going to steal it.

I grew up in Southie. Stealing is what we did

As the old saying goes:

"You can take the kid out of Southie, but you can't take the Southie out of the kid!"

Johnny picked up the boat today and we took it out for its maiden voyage. Best of luck John!!!!!!

Congrats Johnny. Too bad we couldn't finagle a cookout outta this. Beaver fever Jon boat build is going down as the greates thread in MAFF history

Where do you get your angle aluminum and what thickness is it?

The deck on my boat is rotted so I'm looking to replace it. Definitely going to take your advice and coat it a few times with exterior paint.

Heres what I have so far, I cant figure out how to get dimensions on this but its to scale. The gray is the supports with the darker gray being the lips for the hatches. I'm not sure if I need a stringer across the center or not.

For scale the its 38" across the top, 30" down, 48" on the bottom, each of the side boxes hatches can fit 6 3700 tackle boxes (29x6.5), I'm debating making the center just one big compartment as the more I think about it do I really want two 1.5' by 1' when one can do.



Its a 12' with a v hull, that is just the section between the middle and forward seat. I'm leaving the back of the boat as is, and just going to put a single hatch up front as the way it points in there is little I can do in that area.

We typically get our angle aluminum from Sullivan metals in worcester, ma. It is 1.5"x 1.5".

Your design looks good, but you might want to move the two supports more to the middle and make two large side compartments. Look at the design on the first few pages of this thread.

Best of luck!

I feel like some one in this thread mentioned they could print registration number stickers. Any one still doing that? I'll look online but would rather pay some one on here than a random store.

I think Joe does it.
