JON BOAT TRAILERS - Haul-Rite Boat Trailers

Discussion in ' Boat Design ' started by FarawayOct 28, Log in or Sign up. Boat Design Net. I'm looking to buy an aluminum utility boat, about 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve feet, just to put a 9. They can order one, but what is the appeal jons have with the boat buying public vs the V bottoms? I've found jons to be unstable on the water; more likely to flip over if your weight shifts to one side.

I'm no fisherman, so that's not a factor. I like the looks of the Lowewhich is modified V, 14 flatt long and 67 inch beam. The day you buy it, it's worth drops to about half that or less so I want to be sure I buy what I'll be happy. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. FarawayOct 28, Stu; How fast do you want to go? The 9. At that speed the Jon is a rough rider. The vee layout is somewhat kinder to the passengers.

I think Jons were first contrived by a 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve metal guy who could rivet and weld. It is likely that he may not have had much knowledge of boat design. Well, the Jon mortar box turned out to be a fairly practical boat for fishermen, trash collecters, cargo haulers and other functions.

The Jon has superior inerior space for a given length. They need not 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve tippy if they have sufficient fpat at the chines. Problem v that there are a lot of them that are pretty skinny. Here in Florida I see absurdities like dimensions. I figure that those are the vehicles of potential organ donors. The 14 footers seem to have various dimensions on the bottom from 40" upward.

Forty inch chine beam will indeed 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve kind of tender. There is an engineering component involved in making the bottom wider. Simply stated there will need to be more reinforcement, frames, and perhaps thicker skin. Thus heavier. I would much prefer a vee bottom with rounded or beveled chines. But similar rules apply when one considers stability. Wider is better but there are trade offs.

Today I passed by a place that collects and sells used boats. Sometimes taking them in for consignment sales. The guy has been in business for years. He used to have 30 to 40 boats in the lot. Today there were probably 75 or. If that is any indication of what the market is doing, you can 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve find some pretty good deals.

Two grand for a 14 footer may be about right for a new one but I'll bet V can find a decent used one for less than Trouble with used ones is that most of them include a motor that jacks the price and you do not want that 30, 40, 50, HP beast. In addition it will soon be winter in Kentucky fot your bargaining power will increase in inverse proportion to the temperature.

Great for floating rivers. A lot better than canoes in many cases. Ever get in a canoe and walk towards one end? Stability quickly disappears. A square boat is much more stable. The first boat I build was jon style canoe: 16' x 2' bottom, 28" max beam. Worked awsome for what it was designed for: small, shallow rivers and creaks and small calm lakes.

Fopt could jump out for a swim in the middle of a lake and get back in over the side more easily than I could in a 17'x48" aluminum canoe, and even easier I could climb in over the bow or stern with no trouble at all.

It also handled shallow rivers better than the canoe. But with any chop 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve pound, but all I had to do was heel it over a little. Makes it easier to paddle anyway, but not so good with a motor. Flat bottom and square ends is as stable as a basic monohull gets when stitting still, the pointy end is for splitting larger waves.

How shallow are you going to go? It can be cool to go places that most wouldn't consider taking a boat, but if you go more normal places a v bottom will ride better. Flat bottom is more stable if you want to walk around, especially at the bow.

Most of these boats are used for fishing 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve hunting, and they are perfect for that in their intended environment. Thanks fellows, you've both told me exactly what I was hoping to hear! I've never fokt a fan of flat bottom jons. I do now recall the last time I rode in one on plane in a slight chop--it beat us to death.

I swear, I was 2 inches shorter when I got off that boat. I love the idea that the jon boat was an invention trailef a guy with some sheet metal and a welder. I have some old photos of my dad and grand dad fishing from an old hand made wooden jon boat out trauler Lake Cumberland KY with just 2 oars back about Today, I looked at a hybrid sort of thing.

IT was an aluminum 14 foot boat made by Alumacraft that is a cross between a flat bottom, square nosed jon, and a modified v boat. The nose is still squared off at the top but forms a shallow V that runs about half way to the transom. Same nice wide 40 inch wide bottom, though slightly sloaped in to the keel, and still 70 inch beam.

It was much heavier than other jons I've looked at too, weighing in around pounds. That might be a good weight for my Johnson 9. I'd like the name of the place you mentioned Messabout, that sells used boats.

I love a good road trip with a purpose. To go pick up a 14 foot flat bottom jon boat trailer ve is an excellent reason to hit the road for a few days if I can get a deal.

But, you're right, most boats are with motor, and most motors on used boats should be dropped overboard in deep water. That's what I did with my very first boat's motor.

I was about 19 and Id bought a 12 foot alum. The old 10 horse Merc. I launched the boat in the Kentucky River and of course, the motor fired right up and off we went downstream for about 10 miles. That was the last voyage of the prehistoric Merc. I busted both oars on the motor cover and it still wouldn't restart. Yes, there was some beer consumption involved.

I unscrewed the motor clamps, unhooked the fuel line and dropped the damned old motor overboard where I'm sure it settled down into 6 feet or so of mud muck at the bottom of the river.

Too bad they went broke. They made great bota. I'm rambling. I'm. I bottomm for a stone fact Cumberland Lake is foot deep, we lost a barge out of tow one night when I ojn working for Ingram Barge years ago and we found it, come daylight, because the bow void compartment had had its hatch dogged down and thus hadn't filled with water; the ce was resting with its stern on the bottom and the bow was sticking up out of the water about a foot and half or two foot.

You lose a smidgin on the top end in glassy water but the tradeoff is that you don;' shake the change out of yer pocket in the mildest of chop. Be careful about making blanket statements concerning jon boats I'm running a foot mod-V flat-bottom jon boat with a inch bottom and she is extremely stable. She runs and can get up on plane in less than a foot of water has a pocket tunneland can run in six inches of water once on plane.

I, with my lbs. Because of her length, narrow hull and heavy build, she'll handle chop without beating you to death. She doesn't really start rrailer pound until you get into three-footers, and even then it's not bad.

Power is a Merc 4-stroke, can still get on plane with a dozen people aboard and a custom prop. You must log in or sign up to reply. Show Ignored Content. Similar Threads. Replies: 5 Views: DCockey Sep 28, Replies: 9 Views: 1,
