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.

WITH A 13 HP I DONT KNOW ABOUT RUNNING IT LIKE I STOLE IT BUT I WILL BEAT IT TO DEATH IN A SHORT TIME IN THE WATER I PLAN TO BE RUNNING!! GUESSIN I'LL BE LEARNIN HOW TO DO SOME PATCH WORK
