How to make a Jon boat one massive casting deck?

[WillBrinkhoff]

I have a jon boat and I want to make it all one big platform to cast off of. It is a 14ft and it leaks a little, I will get a bilge pump for the leaks, or I will try and TIG weld it. Any ideas on how to do this?

EDIT: I know it will be unstable, I will add stabilizers or maybe two trolling motors off the sides pushing against each other to stabilize it.

I would put side floats on each side of it, and make the "deck" bigger to cover more area. The photo below is just an example of the floats...but I would put them on both sides.

I repaired some bullet holes in an aluminum boat with two part epoxy . I didn't have access to a welding rig . And two opposing trolling motors ? Please post video of the finished product . It should be amusing .
