Want to build a custom subfloor in your jon boat but don't know where to start? In this video, we break down the entire process from gutting the old benches to laying down a rock-solid floor! We’re taking this 1448 Jon Boat and giving it a massive upgrade. We show you exactly how to safely remove those old, useless bench seats without damaging your hull. Then, we dive deep into the crucial prep work: cleaning out years of grime, treating oxidation, and sealing the hull to prevent future corrosion. We also cover the great debate: which foam is best for your subfloor? Plus, learn our tested and true methods for sealing plywood so it lasts for years, whether you use marine epoxy or a budget-friendly Rust-Oleum oil-based enamel approach. Finally, we lay out the plans for the upcoming deck extension, livewell, and center console!
