I'm thinking of installing a bow-mount motor up front, but with my current setup I almost have to build and raise up a new floor to make it usable. I mostly troll and jig, do you think throwing a bowmount up front with the current setup would be worth it? I've been looking at the minn-kota maxxums but I'm not sure if they have a pedal extension, as I'd probably need one.

Or should I just build up a casting deck up front and work from there. I have a transom mount I could clamp to the side up front as well. Just wondering if anyone has some pictures of their home-made setups for bow mounts on a v-hull. Here's what I have to work with so far:

Boat Guides allow you to line your boat up on your trailer, even on the windiest of days or in difficult ramp conditions. With taillight attaching brackets (optional on some models) the guides move your lights up and out of the water enabling you to see the trailer when backing up.

The next steps you can take involve altering the boat design. Some of these options are temporary and some can even be added or removed as needed. Some can also be DIY projects completed with inexpensive kits or parts available at the local marina or home improvement store. Others are permanent in nature and will most likely require the involvement of professional craftsman. The decision as to which is best for you will often come down to how much you want to invest, both in terms of time and money, rather than which will provide more stability. here

Flotation Pods – in a previous article concerning 9 essential jon boat accessories we featured flotation pods, now you know why. These simple metal box shaped additions, which resemble transom steps, not only add buoyancy ( and therefore stability) they do so without altering the overall design of the jon boat. There is no loss of storage, not dramatic increase in size or weight and are relatively easy to install. The small Beavertail pod for example is only 16″ H x 17″ W x 22″ D in size, weighs 20lbs and is suitable for boats between 14 – 16 ft in length but add 160lbs of additional flotation. This is an impressive return on your investment. Plus, they can be bolted on and later used on a different boat or welded for permanent installation. here

Now that you know what can cause your jon boat to be unstable it is time to look at what some of the options are for improving it. Some options will be simple changes in behavior while others will require adding accessories or even changing the construction of the boat itself. It is important you select the method that will address your specific concerns and correct why your jon boat may be less stable than desired. more

Why would these boaters select a different, less suited and most likely more expensive design? In some cases, it is lack of knowledge, but in many cases, it is a fear that the jon boat is too unstable.

The jon boat relies on displacement, not buoyancy, to float. Adding aftermarket buoyancy will achieve two things – it will counter the effects of a heavy load and it will cause the boat to ride higher in the water. Both of these changes will result in increased stability. Adding buoyancy is not especially difficult, but it does need to be done in a specific manner to be effective. here

What is a tunnel Hull? more

My USCG sticker says my boat has different capacities than the DirectBoats.com web site, why?

[fflaguna]

We would say no. Supposedly you get extra safety in your boat because if you puncture your first hull the other hull will keep you afloat. Well actually the foam in the boat will keep you afloat level. That is a US coast guard floatation requirement that is strictly enforced. So with the placement of the foam in the correct locations around the boat, the boat will perform the same for each boat design in a swamped situation. However, on the bad side of a double hull, water can and will get in between the outer(bottom) and inner hull/deck(top) causing quite a few problems.
