Here are the before pictures of my first build. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from this site and plan on making a nice but simple little fishing boat for my wife and I to enjoy.
My plan in this order.
1. Remove the transom
2. Grind all the old silicone and glue reminants of both the inside and outside.
3. Get all the leaky seems welded and all whole patched.
4. Steelflex the bottom to about half way to up the side walls.
5. Steelflex the inside floor.
6. Cut out the middle bench like Bufford did and store batteries and utilities in there.
7. Wire out the trolling motor and running lights.
8. Deck the front level with the benches. I plan on decking past the middle bench to attach to the nearest support rail.
9. Deck the rear bench and area around transom.
10. Apply decking in all the floor areas.
11. Tweak as needed along the way.
Any help is much appreciated. [-o<
