Jon boats
Jon boats most useful purpose is for hunting
due to the greater level of stability as compared with a V-hull aluminum
boat; however they are quite suitable for fishing as well. Jon boats
are flat-bottomed boats constructed of aluminum or wood with 1 to 3
bench seats.
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, easy to maintain,
and inexpensive with many options to upgrade.
