Jon boats are small utility craft primarily used for boating in shallow water. They range from 10 to 18 feet in length. They can be made of aluminum or fiberglass. They are inexpensive and a good choice for the novice boater.
These boats tend to have a low profile so you can 'walk' your rod around the boat unobstructed. These boats have a shallow draft (depth into the water) and produce a very small wake. People who chose boats for watersports usually chose a combination of a fish/ski boat or a straight water ski oriented boat. These boats are either U or V hull in shape and can be modified to produce a wake or little wake.
