New to the forum and mud boats. I've been emailing Uncle-J about building a boat. Got it narrowed down to an 1854 or 1954 with hunt deck, driver pod, gun box, and extended front deck. Any suggestions from Uncle-J owners? Also post pics/speeds of your Uncle-J boat if you have them.

Thanks

I would go 18 54. I hunt marsh though where width is not an issue with trees. I have an 18 48 and it a good all around size. I personally like open floor plan. In shallow water by myself, ice chest, 2 batteries I will run 28-29 with a stock 36 pd. What motor are you planing to get

My buddy owed me some money and gave me a GT35 but the motor is shelled on it. I'm about to put another motor on it, but don't plan on leaving it stock. Probably heads, carb, and exhaust one at a time.

Here is my review. I'm very happy with my Uncle J boat.

Do a search for pics and reviews,they should have several to look at. Haven't seen many recent pics of new builds

Thanks smoke! That's a good looking rig. I'm planning on buying bare hull and doing the rest myself.

Damn just found the review forum. 22 pages on Uncle J boats.

I build those boats. You can search my post and look at some pics also. It may not say "uncle J" some just say "another boat" or something, but it will still have pics of boats. Whatever you want, the sky is the limit.

yeah Smoke, that is an awsome boat. J and his crew are working on my one, i sent pics of your boats floor to J so he could do mine the same. I like the open floor plan, maybe i will have some pics to post in 2 weeks or so. hopefully it will be ready by then

Just picked up my 1748 UncleJ. It looks good and now I just can wait to run it.

Heres my 1854 Uncle J with a mod v bow flat bottom. I LOVE IT!!!! Its the best boat Ive ever owned. Jason will do you a good job Id guarantee it!

Good looking boats. It looks like you guys make a good product! I don't necessarily need a mud boat, but the more I read here, the more I want one.

We don't just build mudboats. We've built bass boats and bay boats as well.

My Uncle-J boat is a little smaller than what you are looking at, I have a 17.5x48 and I get around 28 with a MB 35hp. I think I have a little more aluminum inside than what you are planning. Mine has a split bench seat because I have it set up for fishing more than hunting.

Mine's 1848 with round chines & "Sport Deck" Completely open floor, I added a 7' gun/rod box & sit on an Igloo cooler full of cold ones.

i am not on facebook. any pics of bay boats?

Click on Link below.. You do not have to have an account to look.

Thanks Uncle J and everyone for the posts. I guess it's decision time.

Ten-point can build a hell of a boat for ya! Im happy with my Uncle J boat. Gonna take it out this weekend!

I was hoping it was something like thisgravois bow on.jpg

We can do that also.. But, that is NOT a bay boat

difference of opinion i guess, I wouldn't call the one you posted a bay boat. I'd call it a flat boat. the one I posted was nice, but didn't fit my needs. jimmy is turning out a serious 27 foot bayboat right now.

Bay boats usually end around the 23' range with. 8' beam.

hey J, howd you get wayne to pose for a pic on the boat with duals?

While we are asking dumb questions... When will MB have reverse?

Sorry, didnt mean to put that in the no sense of humor forum.

Bahaaaaaa
