    Some of your older videos have the comments turned off, but I just wanted to say thank you, your videos have been great as a reference as I work on my Jon boat build. I live in East Tennessee, hopefully I can get it out on the lake before the end of the season

    This was a great watch..Those of us who love to do DYI projects eat this stuff up. Last winter I bought a 12 ft tracker put a Merc 9.9 and a trolling motor. Down on the southern Colorado River water has become to skinny to run my Lund most days. So, built what I call..The Swamp Donkey. I still have tweaks because of all the noise the aluminum makes in the water. Drives me insane, but it'll get dealt with. Keep em coming. Stay safe

    Awesome 💪. I ran a 15hp on my Ol Lowe 12 footer. Operated great, but then i put a 25hp on that jewl. Its been a great duck boat for over 10 years. That boat will hold that 15 well. Take care.

    I like that boat! I have the same trolling motor on my boat and it's a 1989, i was wanting to replace it but it still works good. Glad you showed labels on it. Mine don't have any info on it beside Evinrude, my direction indicator came off also. It yeeted itself off, as my kids said 😅

  • @WNCworks
    @WNCworks 10 днів тому

    It should have a stator on the motor that charges the batteries. Probably why they had the batteries connected, so it would charge them both...

    • @backwaterboatrehab
      @backwaterboatrehab 10 днів тому

      You’re right. I’ve just never seen anyone try to charge both batteries from the motor. Quick internet search shows it is indeed possible though.

    • @C_K_Williams
      @C_K_Williams 10 днів тому

      Batteries in parallel (+ to + and - to -) will maintain 12volts but increase the amp hour to the total of both batteries. Batteries in series (+ to - ) will increase volts but not the amp hour. Two 12 volt batteries in series will create a 24v system.

    I’m currently binge watching your videos. Right now I’m watching your Alumahawk Paint where you made your own color of tan mixing black & Jon boat green . I love that color! I’m working on my own Jon Boat now , just finished my transom rebuild (almost) using your video techniques . Of course I will be redoing my trailer ( have most all the parts, installed jack , new 2” hitch & have parts including new lights, runners, carpet & all the above. I have a 1986 Cajun Special 14/36 & a 1978 2 stroke 9.8 Mercury motor. Anyway, I have been sharing your UA-cam channel @backwaterboatrehab on my Facebook threads that I follow. Yours is the most informative step by step of any other Jon Boat Channel on UA-cam in my opinion! Thanks for sharing all your content! Would love to get one of your BWBR stickers to put on back of my Louisiana made boat when it’s completed. Thanks Dude ! Bill Buck in Louisiana 🇺🇸🎣

    For you 8 ft jon built video you made last year, will it work on a river. I want to get one to row on, add some lights and ad a mp3 audio system for exercise and fish off it on occasion but mainly row before sun up. I would ask that on your previous video but comments were turned off.

    • @backwaterboatrehab
      @backwaterboatrehab 10 днів тому

      I’m sure it’ll be fine as long as it doesn’t have a whole lot of current. I’d try to get one 36” across the bottom if you can.

    • @elsuperpollo2273

      I dont see trailers on Facebook market place, with 36 foots and I'm lucky enough I can back my 24 foot travel trailer which I guess I need more practice backing up. I was thinking if I got a 10 foot I could it in my pickup bed. But i do see your point. I probably should get a 30 something for wooden or aluminum dory or whaler. I wanna row the black warrior river here in Alabama since I'm not not ocean rowing.

    Nice to see you make use of aluminum instead of wood/plywood for everything. A buddy of mine and I both had 12 foot Jon boats and identical 9.9 motors. He decided to put in floors and decks and he completely removed the middle seat (bye, bye flotation). He carpeted everything and then he tried it out on the lake. I followed him in my boat just in case of any problems. His boat was so heavy it wouldn't get up on plane. Thinking it might be a motor issue, we swapped motors. Nope, same thing. Mine would plane, but his wouldn't. I wonder how many "custom builds" out there had the same issues with all wood builds, but they never showed it running on the water?
