Ok well i dont have much money to invest into a nice boat im looking more at 80s fiberglass boats or a john boat which would be easier and more worth my while to rebuild in your opinions (this is my first time doing it btw)

It would depend on your skills and what you want to use the boat for in it's finished form! I think a jon boat would be easy for a build but I also have two fiberglass boats as well and they aren't bad either! Just different ways to work on these to types of boats. Jon boat would probably be the less expensive of the two.

17ft extra wide extra deep. I've been in regular jons before, if the wind is blowing over 10mph they are impossible to hold next to the bank.
