This boat is on a sort of indefinate loan to me, but the owner won't allow me to mod it, so I was thinking about purchasing it from him and calling it my own. $500 gets the boat, trailer, 45lb thrust motor, and battery.
From stern to bow she measures 13' 9", and from side to side at the gunwhales she measures 56". I'm not exactly sure how to take a measurement on the bottom...its hard to tell as the boat makes a continous curve towards the middle, and never really flattens out. To floor it, you either have to sacrifce floor to gunwhale height to gain floor width, or sacrifice floor width to gain floor to gunwhale height due to the curvature of the hull(hopefully that makes sense).
A decent compromise seems to be making the floor about 46" wide (at the stern ofcourse, didn't check to see what that would measure at the bow) That would leave about 3" under the floor at the middle of the hull for foam, and about 10" from the floor to the top of the benches, which is the height I would like to put my decking. 10" isn't alot of storage space, but I guess it is better than nothing.

! One question though...is it possible to add in a drain plug? The current drain plug has JB Weld smeared all over it, and with the addition of a floor and decking, flipping the boat over to drain it will no longer be an option.
