Can I put a jon boat in a pickup bed?

A small jon boat can ride upside down in a truck bed, usually with a bed extender and the tailgate down. Flag any overhang and strap it front and rear. Larger jon boats need a trailer.

Which way up should a jon boat travel?

Upside down when hauled on a truck or roof, so the flat hull sheds wind. On a trailer it sits normally, secured with bow and stern straps.

Do I need a flag for an overhanging boat?

Yes. If the boat extends past the tailgate more than a few feet, most states require a red flag by day and a light at night on the end.

How to Move a Jon Boat

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

A jon boat is a flat-bottom aluminum boat that is light enough to move several ways: on a boat trailer, in or on top of a truck, or even on heavy roof bars for a small one. This guide covers each method, how to tie it down so it cannot slide or lift, and the overhang flag rule when it sticks out past the truck.

Difficulty: Moderate
Time: Loading and strapping: 20 to 30 minutes.
Typical cost: Towing on its own trailer: fuel. Truck-bed or roof haul: free with straps you own. Shipping a jon boat roughly $300 to $900 depending on size and distance.
Supplies: Boat trailer, truck bed, or heavy roof bars, Ratchet straps (2 to 4), Bow tie-down or winch strap, Red overhang flag, Foam or padding for the hull, Bed extender (optional)

Pro tip: A bed extender lets a small jon boat ride safely in a pickup with the tailgate down and the boat flagged.

Watch out: Do not haul a jon boat right side up on the highway. Upside down sheds wind, while right side up can catch air and lift.
