Jon Boats And Their Major Characteristics
Jon boats are flat-bottomed boats, usually made of alumium or wood and tend to be sparsely furnished with a 1-3 bench seats. Due to their incredible stability, they're generally a better option for hunting as compared to V-hull aluminum non-Jon boats. Contrary to perception, Jon boats are good for fishing as well.
Largely because of their flat shaped hull, Jon boats are a less favourable choice when it comes to slicing through rougher waters like what a V hull shaped boat can do. As a result, Jon boats tend to be more frequently used on calmer waters
Jon boats are usually between 8 and 20 feet long and 36 inches to 56 inches wide, though more and more different custom sizes are available nowadays. Their design often includes an open hull, without a bilge to hide the ribs. Despite that, many owners have chosen to hide them, leaving a flat level surface. Modern day Jon boats have been used as bass boats nowadays.
Their simplicity, ease of maintenance makes Jon Boats a favourite among boating lovers with a smaller budget.
