1991 Alumaweld 17' Jon Boat - The "Workhorse" Special w/ a 2009 Suzuki 90 Hp
If you know the Pacific Northwest boating scene, you know the Alumaweld name is synonymous with heavy-duty construction and lifetime durability. This 1991 17-footer is a classic example of "they don't build them like they used to."
While she shows the character of a boat that's seen plenty of successful seasons, this hull remains a rock-solid platform for a buyer who prioritizes utility over polish.
Specifications & Overview
• Year: 1991
• Make: Alumaweld
• Model: Jon Boat / Open Skiff
• Length: 17'
• Hull Material: All-welded aluminum (no rivets to leak)
• Condition: Fair
Notable Features
• Wide Beam: This 17' model offers a generous, stable platform, making it ideal for crabbing, shallow-water fishing, or hauling gear to a remote cabin.
• Heavy-Gauge Aluminum: Unlike modern "economy" jons, this 1991 hull features the thick-gauge, all-welded seams Alumaweld is famous for.
• Open Layout: Maximum floor space for customization. Whether you want to add a side console or keep it as a tiller-steer, the footprint is ready for your vision.
Condition Report: "Fair"
As your broker, I believe in transparency. Here is what to expect:
• Cosmetic: The original paint and decals show significant fading and "dock rash." There are the expected dings and scratches consistent with 30+ years of service.
• Decking: The interior floor liners (if present) show wear and may require replacement or a fresh coat of non-skid.
• Structure: The hull is structurally sound with no major repairs evident, though a thorough cleaning and some "elbow grease" would go a long way.
Broker's Notes
"This is the perfect 'project plus' boat. It's ready to hit the water tomorrow as a rugged workboat, but it's also the ideal candidate for a full restoration. You're buying the legendary Alumaweld hull integrity at a fraction of the cost of a new build."
