Re: Jon Boat conversion
Oh yeah, I'm not suggesting you do the carpet thing as it's not a preferred method, PITA to keep clean, holds moisture, etc. I bit the bullet on my jon since I wanted a stealth fishing rig, lots of noise dampening to the hull so my boat was quiet. Tap on the hull and it makes a dull thud sound instead of a tinny ringing sound. I have to admit my jon would be one heck of a lot easier to maintain if I had just painted the decks and forgot about all the noise dampening stuff, but my fishing has been one heck of a lot better with the quite boat.
