Turn Your 1436 Jon Boat into a Bass Boat in ONE WEEKEND! 🚤💨
Looking to convert a 1436 Jon Boat or an old 14-foot V-hull into a custom fishing machine, but don't want to spend months and thousands of dollars doing it? We’ve got you covered. In this video, Ryan and Patrick from our Southeast shop demonstrate how to completely rebuild a 1436 Jon Boat using the Tiny Boat Nation "Weekend Warrior Kit".
We take you step-by-step through the entire process—from framing the front and rear decks to laying the aluminum subfloor, custom wiring the switch panel, and mounting the trolling motor. Whether you are budgeting your time or your money, this complete kit has everything you need to get you out on the water and fishing this season!
