2026 Marlon SP12

The Marlon SP12 is a 12-foot aluminum jon boat built for stability and portability. Its defining characteristic is width: a 4-foot beam and 51-inch bottom create a platform notably wider than typical jon boats in its class, delivering flat-bottom stability even in rougher water without sacrificing maneuverability. At 132 pounds dry weight, it remains light enough to handle single-handed while carrying four people and up to 881 pounds of total load.

The boat features three bench seats and four carrying handles positioned throughout. The welded hull seams and drain plug are standard equipment. The transom is set at 15 inches and is prop-ready, rated for up to 10 horsepower. Hull construction uses .048-inch aluminum gauge. Side height measures 16.92 inches.

The SP12 suits fishing, hunting, and cruising applications where a combination of light weight, beam width, and realistic load capacity matters. Its proportions make it a capable choice for moving gear and passengers without the heft of larger vessels.
