Boats Made In The Carolinas…. Jones Brothers Marine
In 1989 Rob and Donnie Jones, the Jones brothers, launched their first Bateau and solved a difficult problem for coastal anglers. For years the brothers had sold aluminum Jon boats at their retail store in Morehead City. At the time, however, they noticed that many Jon boats didn’t hold together well because of the beating the boats received in the harsh and rough saltwater environment of the sounds and nearshore waters of the Southern Outer Banks. From experience, Rob and Donnie knew that wide, flat-bottomed Jon
boats were often the favorite craft of anglers seeking speckled trout, flounder, and redfish.
