Designed to handle rougher Northern waters, our new Jons have straighter sides and deeper keels than conventional southern-style Jons. Each seam-welded, one-piece hull is constructed of 5052 marine grade aluminum for unyielding strength and long life. So whether you're enjoying the serenity of a quiet backwater or tucking into your favorite duck blind, you can count on the famous DuraNautic strength and reliability that we build into The Duke!
