Homemade River Jon Boat

i have tried everything, i have read & reread the picture instructions, & i dont see the the chose file or upload buttons under the text box.. copy & past , drag & drop did not work..

drag & drop gives me any error, post is too short.. i have been on forums b4 & never done it this way.. maybe its too simple for me.. lol

Try this. I posted on a different topic a while back. Photobucket works fine here for me.

First don't use the img code.

In the posting box click on the little polaroid icon.

A little window will popup asking for the image URL.

Use the "Direct Link" URL from Photobucket.

Click OK and presto.

Sorry for delay Gavin... With no shop I been waiting on the weather..

Here you can see new motor mount I glassed in works great, really helps bring weight in and floats a lot flatter in the shallow waters I have no probs running up the skinn water now..

Here is the corner I fixed... U can see that most of it ended up being ground out to repair properly...

Same here just sealed the glass on the deck, this is all new as well... Fixed some cracks in the floor, couple more to go .but noting that can't wait, I had to be ready to fish!

By the way adley this boat above is 34 wide on inside, and its tight.... Now I can go any place I want, I squeeze in some crazy places some by accident and lack of skill! Lol. But if I was building I would do a min of of 40".. Only for comfort... This boat feels tippy, but is very stable for what it is... I am shocked at how stable it is for as narrow as it is... But common sense play a large part on the river... Or any body of water... Stuff happens but being aware is major. I looked at the famous floats boat that was for sale, it was 23 ft. Long, that's was sweet, if I remember it was 54" wide.. I'd like to try my hand at building one for myself...
