The step transom version of our VJ is Light in weight, yet heavy on features and performance.
We included our longitudinal rib design at the back of the boat for extra strength and stability where you need it most. This helps keep the boat as light as possible while maintaining critical support around passengers and the motor.
The rear bench seats each have storage compartments underneath, giving you maximum storage and organization to keep the floorspace open. Each heavy-duty lid is just as durable as fixed benches for sitting and standing on the rear deck.
The VJST comes standard with a lightweight perforated floor. This is a serious upgrade over the average ‘jon boat’ and allows for water to drain through. The perforated design also keeps weight to a minimum if you’re looking for speed.
The VJST-C is a step transom boat with an 8°, 100-gauge hull and lateral C-channel ribs. It also features the shallow water basic flotation with storage compartments under the rear seat bench. This makes it a lighter option if you don’t need the extra strength of the I-Beam longitudinal ribs used in our other models.
