1760 Aluminum Jon Boat Plans with Side Console
The 1760 Aluminum Jon Boat Plans with Side Console are designed for builders who need a stable, durable, and versatile aluminum fishing and utility boat. This design combines a wide beam, shallow draft, and reinforced aluminum structure, making it ideal for lakes, rivers, and calm coastal waters.
The integrated side console layout provides comfortable steering, excellent visibility, and improved weight distribution while maintaining generous open deck space for fishing, equipment, or work use. With its moderate deadrise and flat-bottom characteristics, this Jon Boat offers outstanding stability and predictable handling.
The hull is designed for welded marine-grade aluminum construction and can be built using either imperial or metric material standards. These plans are suitable for experienced DIY builders as well as professional workshops.
