Jon's not that bright. When the leccy is stowed you won't be able to open that front hatch. Good lookin' little boat though.

You would have to think Jon would be wealthy if he owned intelectual property? Dont worry about the hatch Dale, as long as the esky is stored somewhere else she will be fine

Definition of JOHNBOAT : a narrow flat-bottomed square-ended boat usually propelled by a pole or paddle and used on inland waterways Origin of JOHNBOAT First Known Use: 1905 THE OZARK JOHNBOAT One of the most interesting products of the Ozarks is the johnboat, a combination of the ingenuity of the people and the natural features of the region. The johnboat is a long, narrow, flat-bottomed wooden boat designed for fishing the pools (called eddies) of the Ozark rivers and floating over the swift shallow riffles. It floats downstream with the current and is paddled by one person in the back using a light-weight paddle.
No one knows for sure when the first johnboat was built or where it got its name, though it is generally agreed that it was first designed by a man named John for float trips on the White River. The same general style boat was used throughout the Ozarks on most streams. Each river had its own boat which was adapted to the characteristic features of that river.

Us Johns are pretty inventive blokes, I'm sure the Mitchell lad would agree. I like that setup seeing as how I'm too cranky in the joints to get into canoes and even worse, kayaks. JD
