This boat is made of fiberglass. This makes it one of the best shallow water jon boats because it can also be used in salt water. The v-shaped bow allows it to run the surface easier in choppy water. This two-seater is twelve feet long and weighs only 140 pounds. It has a non-skid interior.
Generally very simple craft, featuring riveted or welded aluminum hulls and bench seating, they can be operated in fish-friendly places - shallow water, coves, inlets - not many other boats can reach. Powered primarily by outboard engines, this type of boat offers both tiller and remote steering options.
