Super User Chris at Tech Posted July 13, 2010 Super User Posted July 13, 2010 So after much deliberation, research and begging to the wife, my new jonboat rig has finally arrived! It started as a G3 1652 and had an HB 898 SI, 1 MK 80lb bow mount, two MK 80lb transom mounts, full aluminum framing and decking and just about the cleanest wiring and detail I've ever seen on a jonboat The kid (yes, a kid -- a rising senior in high school) put more thought into the design and the wiring than I ever could have. I haven't fished it yet, but all I can say so far is WOW! Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted July 13, 2010 Super User Posted July 13, 2010 Why do I get the impression you might use it at Varner from time to time? Nice looking unit. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted July 13, 2010 Super User Posted July 13, 2010 Very nice , enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote

Super User Nitrofreak Posted July 13, 2010 Super User Posted July 13, 2010 WOW!!!! really nice looking rig. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted July 13, 2010 Super User Posted July 13, 2010 Looks great. Now go out and catch some fish on it. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted July 14, 2010 Super User Posted July 14, 2010 Wow - that's clean! Got any photos looking aft ? Quote
Super User South FLA Posted July 14, 2010 Super User Posted July 14, 2010 Open her up and take some pics of the "kids" work! Looks nice and clean, would love that jon for some local lakes! Quote
zerofivenismo Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 You've got a rockin' rig! bassboy1 over on tb have some mad skills. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted July 14, 2010 Super User Posted July 14, 2010 To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "Now that's a jonboat." Nice rig. 8-) Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted July 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 14, 2010 Open her up and take some pics of the "kids" work! Looks nice and clean, would love that jon for some local lakes! More when I get home, but here's a pic of the rear battery hatch. I've never seen so much detail and attention paid to the wiring. To say that the builder of this boat does not like current loss would be a HUGE understatement. Relays, circuit breakers, fuses, aluminum framing around the batteries, consolidation of wiring...just wow... Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 You're definitely at no disadvantage on electric only lakes. That is one well thought out and executed project. Quote
Bigbarge50 Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 That is one heck of a rig. Are both your MK's the traxis model? Quote
Eddie Munster Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Sweet ride Chris; come pick me up in Sharpsburg, GA!!!!! Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted July 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 14, 2010 That is one heck of a rig. Are both your MK's the traxis model? No. One new Traxxus and one previous MK transom mount but I can't recall the model name. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted July 14, 2010 Author Super User Posted July 14, 2010 Open her up and take some pics of the "kids" work! Looks nice and clean, would love that jon for some local lakes! Almost forgot about this. Plenty of pictures of the guts: http://shareaproject.com/pages/projectTut,p,739,00.html Quote
KansasBassin Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Nice job, unreal construction on that G3 Quote
northern basser Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 That boat is the . Talk about doing it right the 1st time. Probably no thoughts of what to redo in the future! I really like the front pedal. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted July 16, 2010 Super User Posted July 16, 2010 Wow, that's some nice work! Congrats Chris, I hope you enjoy it! Quote
Super User South FLA Posted July 16, 2010 Super User Posted July 16, 2010 Went back and looked at all the pictures in the Share a Project and all I have to say is WOW! Nice clean well thought out work! Wish I could find ONE contractor, or for that matter one person that accomplish work of that caliber in any area! Beautiful boat in every detail! Quote
