This jon boat belonged to my dad since I can remember. It has not been used in years and I needed a sailboat. I can't put a motor on it as it has no title and here you have to register ANY boat with mechanical propulsion. Yes I can build a sailboat again, but why not use what I have? It can still be used like it was intended. Just take the rudder off and lift the mast out. Easy! Don't let anyone tell you it won't work especially if they have not tried it themselves! This boat is VERY light and is only 10' so it fits in any truck bed.
