Jon Boat to Bass Boat Conversion
General
Some people call these hydrilla
gorillas, or just bass jon boats. Whatever you call them, their cool as hell.. What you do is take a jon boat (usually a 14 ft) and add a plywood deck and give it many of the amenities of a full size bass boat. I'm looking for my own 14-16 ft jon boat right now to build one myself.
As you can see on the hydrilla gorilla to the right, there has been a deck installed and pedistal seats added so you no longer have to sit on the metal spreaders. there is also a gas motor and rod and reel storage.
I really like this conversion when it is done to old v-hulls.

I also have a crappy 10 ft john boat for sale if anyone wants it send me an email. It's ugly and has front end damage. It makes a nice yard ornament next to my bass buster.
