Jon Boats: A jon boat (or johnboat) is a flat-bottomed boat constructed of aluminum, fibreglass or wood with one, two, or three bench seats. They are particularly useful for fishing and hunting due to the greater level of stability in calm waters as compared with a v-hull aluminum boat.

Aluminum | Fibreglass & Composites

A jon boat (or johnboat) is a flat-bottomed boat constructed of aluminum, fibreglass and composite materials or wood with one, two, or three bench seats.  They are particularly useful for fishing and hunting due to the greater level of stability in calm waters as compared with a v-hull aluminum boat.   Because the hull of a jon boat is nearly flat, it tends to ride over the waves rather than cut through them as a v-hull might, thus limiting the use of the boat to calmer waters.  Jon boats typically have a transom onto which an outboard motor can be mounted. They are simple and easy to maintain, and inexpensive with many options to upgrade.
