New or used Jon boats are perfect for multi-purpose camping, freshwater fishing and hunting. Jon boats are the classic companions to many fishing pursuits on the water. Although fishing boat designs vary quite a bit, they would usually have stowage and holders for fishing poles, bait, tackle, and tanks specifically designed to hold live fish. Fishing boats also feature an open platform where an angler can fight the fish on all sides of the boat. Understandably so, most fishing boats don't run high on family comfort since easy maintenance for caught live fish is a greater priority. Jon boats are very affordable and quite easy to own and maintain. These boats are typically made of aluminum and powered by a small to moderate outboard or oars. Jon boats could usually sit one to five people. Jon boats manufacturers such as Smoker Craft have been constantly innovating on the boat's design and features. For instance, Smoker Craft has dealt with a typical character flaw in older Jon models: the low sidewalls, which have often caused security and safety concerns among boat owners. Understanding the need of boaters to feel secure and have the proper amount of freeboard, the company built taller sidewalls on their Jon boats.
