Let me know what you guys think as far as knowledge on the engine and/or opinions about the boat itself. The only think i dislike is that its not a welded jon...

Thanks.

i think it looks pretty good.. my boat is riveted and is super strong.. havent put a tower on it yet tho.. but its pretty solid.. so i wouldnt worry about that.

its a flat bottom, it'll flip with a tower on it

aren't they all flat? i know that sounds stupid but i dont get why that would flip any more than any other jon boat?

if its bow is cutting through the water it is more stable since there is water on each side. if its a flat bottom its already less stable and with a tower making it more top heavy, atleast thats what i got from it

i thought everyone on the lemonscraft thread had flat bottoms?

wouldnt a flat bottom be more stable than a v-hull? Confused

trust an opinion from someone whos grown up riding on these boats, just because you put a tower on a boat doesn't mean its gonna work

flat bottom boat will flip VERY easily with a tower ontop, the lemonscraft has almost flipped tons of times, mod'd v hulls cut into the water a lil more so it has a much less chance of flipping, also, the boats with towers are usually much wider than a normal 14-16ft johnboat

like my boat is a 14x48 and seems super stable.. they dont really make them too much wider than that do they? isnt the lemonscraft only 48" wide on the bottom?

lemons should team up with a jon boat company and make a skate edition.

yeah i was always a little worried to put a full tower on it.. you think a little one like that trixta boat or whatever its called would work?
