Jon Boat. What does Jon mean or where did it get the name?
I would like to know how the Jon Boat got it's name. Know what it is but was wondering about the source of the name.
here is what google says
Jon boats are flat-bottomed boats constructed of aluminum or wood with 1 to 3 bench seats. Their most useful purpose is for hunting due to the greater level of stability as compared with a V-hull aluminum boat; however they are quite suitable for fishing as well. Because the hull of a Jon boat is nearly flat, it tends to ride over the waves rather than cut through them as a V-hull might, thus limiting the use of the boat to calmer waters. Jon boats typically have a transom onto which an outboard motor can be mounted. They are simple, easy to maintain, and inexpensive with many options to upgrade.

jon boat modifications
I bought a real old 10ft jon boat in Virginia and it didn't have a title. Can I still get it licensed?
The boat is a Sears Roebuck John Boat Model 60122 and I would like to know how old it is.
Thanks loads.
do you know if it was registered before?
Check with DGIF about the correct procedure, its been a few years since i did this, but it appears, according to the registration form, there are exemptions.
from the VA registration form
"If the boat is registered in Virginia, and the previous owner does not have or can not find the title to the boat, call the Department
at 804-367-6135. The Department can give you specific instructions or mail you an "affidavit" or a "Statement of Missing Title"
that can serve in lieu of the title from the previous owner. If it was registered or titled in another state, call that state and ask what
you should do."
I would start here:
http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/boating/registration/procedure.asp
EDIT: as far as age, i'm not sure how to tell from the model number, however, if there is a number plate on the right side of the transom, it was built after Nov 1 1972 and the last 2 digits are the year.

Every boat I have owned has had a 1 1/2" thick transom if used for an outboard, regardless of the size of the outboard. Check out a chunk of "LDL" from your local homebuilding supply. You can get them in different widths from 8" to 24".
That is a pretty small boat. I would go with the 3 1/2 hp or a 3 hp if that is what the boat is rated at. I doubt if a 4 hp motor would give much more speed and it weighs a lot more.. It seems to me that a 10 ft Jon Boat is a bit dangerous in a fast river.
