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.
Most boats can be narrowed down to the following uses: Fishing (freshwater or saltwater), water sports (wakeboarding, kneeboarding, water skiing, towable), sailing (using wind to power your boat), cruising (weekender camping on the water), personal watercraft (jet skis, wave runners, etc.), and luxury yachting.
