so that's my 35 cents worth on my jon.i love it.her big flat bottom is a joy to fish out of.i can get up and walk around which is verrrry important to my old back. Boats take alot of pounding out there in rough water as do planes in the sky. 2016 Lowe Jon Boat L1448MT, Here is a 2016 L1448MT Jon boat. you gotta watch it.i also had the transom gunwales and seats spray'd because these were areas i've seen wear on all old jons at the ramps over the years.for your app if the weight is a issue you could have them 1 spray it thin and maybe just on the places where you fear it might get damaged or heavily worn(or rivets that might leak). Engineered to offer a comfortable ride and responsive control on the water so you can. it did add some weight to the boat.i didnt even think to weigh it before 'n after duh me.but the weight i added is in like the best place for the center of gravity.i've had me and another fat guy(and a stuffed cooler and tackle/gear and 2 big gel batts and a gas tank ect) in her and she'd run about 15 mph in slickish water(be'n pushed by my old merc 20 flat out) she also ran real nice at about 8-10 mph through abouta 10 inch chop.only prob i've had is sit'n still out in bigger water/weather.these boats dont have a lot of freeboard(even without fat boys in 'em) and the bob'n like a cork thing welllll lets just say if the timing of the swell or boat wakes is just rrright. Hit the big water with our industry leading Riveted-V hull design.
so the day after paint it went to the Linex guy.i had the whole bottom spray'd and had 'em bring it around the corner and up the side a couple inchs(enough to cover the rivets that would be under water) to protect the sharp corners from get'n banged up.
Riveted boats tend to leak a little more (although the reviews are mixed) but often cost a little less than welded boats. My 17ft jon is riveted.and i beg to differ with not want'n to drive it on plane in chop.was built to plow up river through rapids(imo).my boat was 1 of them uuuugly OD green things when i bought it.the green paint made a good primer base coat for the auto body guy to paint it a dark grey Mopar color over it.as for the rivets leak'n.that wasnt as much of a concern to me as the beat'n they take off load'n and load'n at ramps without docks. Overall, riveted Jon Boats are easier and less expensive to repair than welded Jon Boats, have similar longevity and the same or slightly less durability.
