1/25 aluminum jon boat

[gator]

I can't believe I found this in my shop!  It's a 1/25 jon boat, or aluminum boat, camouflaged for duck hunting in the marsh.  I got plans to build a real one an scaled them down to 1/25.  The camouflage is airbrushed using some of the hardest to make and weed paint masks that I ever made.  I don't know how I will display it.  I need to find an engine for it.  The resin one I have has a broken prop.  I can't believe I found it.  I thought it was gone after we lost the house in Hurricane Laura.

What a cool boat! Around here, the guys haul them around in the back of a long bed pickup truck!

It will need a trailer. Too big for a truck bed.

Ah. My former neighbor had one that was on a trailer.

That rocks Kenny! I'm so glad you found it again!

Thank you guys. We now have an outboard motor! It will need some clean up and new blades for the prop. I’ll scratch build the transom mount. I’ve also been looking at photos of trailers and with a little planning I should be able to scratch build one.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Now how cool is THAT??!! That camo on the side of the boat is just killer!! Hats go off to you for pulling that off as well as finding it Kenny.


Edit: Great score on the outboard motor as well.
