IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN APPLY TO THE BOTTOM OF A CHEAP JON BOAT TO MAKE IT MORE IMPACT RESISTANT? BOUGHT A 1436 TRACKER JON BOAT AND ITS A CHEAP, THIN HULL, DIDNT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR A BETTER BOAT AND WORRIED ABOUT TEARING A BIG HOLE IN THE BOTTOM! ONLY HAVE A 13 HP BEAVERTAIL SO I WANTED TO STAY WITH A LIGHT BOAT BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE AS THIN AS A BEER CAN! ANY IDEAS? PLAN ON SPRAYING BEDLINER OR RUBBERIZED UNDERCOATING INSIDE THE HULL TO MAKE IT A LITTLE QUIETER,BUT HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO USE ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE HULL |

Polymer or UHMW is pretty expensive.... but is an option. Others have used steel flex, but say with rocks and such, it will chip away. |

WHERE WOULD YOU GET POLYMER? IS IT THE SAME AS WHAT YOU SCREW TO THE BOTTOM OF A AIRBOAT? I LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND SEEN ALOT OF AIRBOATS WITH IN ON BUT NEVER SEEN IT HERE IN WI, WHERE DO YOU GET STEELFLEX FROM? |

If you couldn't swing a different/tougher mud motor hull right now, I'd say run it like you stole it instead of sinking another bundle in any "armor". Save that dough for another hull later. |
