We're getting materials ready to start a new boat for my uncle. After looking all over for a suitable Jon boat we've decided to build one from scratch. This means a brand new welder for me. I decided on the MillerMatic 211 Autoset with a SpoolMate 100 series spool gun. We'll start as soon as I get the bosses walk-in closet done. She's been after me for two years so getting it done should give me a free pass to some garage time.
The hull will be pretty much like mine at around 14 ft with a 5ft bottom(no chines) and 20 inch sides. I may put on my 032 to give him some stick time before I put on a 084. This will be the same as mine when done, a direct drive 084 with a Arrow Props 52 in stick prop. The hull will have a less sharp rake on the front, I think mine is a little too much even though it is really stable to fish from when float fishing. He's pretty excited and I must admit I'm a little tingly too about getting to build the hull.
THIS BOAT IS N0W FOR SALE.
