Thanks!! I am looking forward to possibly finishing this weekend. :D

I finished the rest of the watersealing last night. That was probably my least favorite part of the project so far. Doing all the edges of the plywood was a pain. I also picked up my carpet yesterday too. I will probably have to wait until the weekend to put the carpet on. I am excited to...

Framing the boat really isn't all that complicated. Just have some kind of a plan when you start and you will come up with other ideas as you go. I knew basically what I wanted to do but had to make some modifications along the way. It really isn't all that costly either.

I drilled into the seats, but not into the hull. The framing turned out rock solid, I was surprised how solid it ended up. I really believe this will add a lot of stability and make the boat overall much more solid. The carpet is supposed to come in today but I probably won't get much of a...

I got a lot more done with my mod over the weekend. Finished framing the transom, put on the the waterseal and cut the plywood. I'm now waiting on the carpet to come in tomorrow. Hopefully I can finish up this next weekend. Also got a new Humminbird 565 fishfinder that I am going to mount...

Hi everyone, I have some pretty basic questions about boat wiring. First of all, I KNOW NOTHING about wiring/electrical so bear with me. :? I am looking to put in a fuse box that I've ordered from Cabelas. I want to connect my 12V battery to it and connect a fishfinder, nav lights, and a...

I been thinking about that. If you look at the pictures and see the green board that is across the seat. I have attached (didn't post a picture yet) a piece of 2X2 on the end of that board on each side for more support on the sides. The pictures are a little misleading, there isn't much room...

Here are some more pics..

Well, I finally got started on my project yesterday. I think my dad and I made pretty good progress. I decided to deck the front with two storage compartments. I would also like to close in the back which I will start at a later time. I'm going to apply the water seal today. Let me know...

Your boat looks awesome, man!! I really like it!!

Thanks a lot for the info!! I'm gonna try to get my boat out of storage this week (supposed to warm up) and start my project. I'm excited to get started. I really liked how your mod turned out sccamper, I'm planning on using yours as my reference if thats ok. :) I will post some pictures of...

sccamper, that is exactly what I want to do on my boat. Yours looks really good, you did a great job!! The problem though for me is the edges of my seats and the ribs of the boat are rounded, not squared like yours. I think this will make it harder to tie into. I was gonna get my boat out of...

Hey, thanks!! It's nice to talk to you guys, everyone seems very helpful. I live in central PA, near State College. I see you are in Bucks County. That's cool!!

I will try to get some pics this weekend. I have my boat stored for the winter at another location. I plan on bringing it home this weekend so I can start working on it. I don't know off hand exactly how wide it is but I do know it is pretty narrow. I weigh 180 and usually fish with my dad...

Hi everyone, I'm a new member to the site and I'm really impressed with all the great info and nice modications made. I have a 14' Sea Nymph jon boat, I believe it's a 1995. It's in really good condition-garage kept, etc. My only problem is, I have NO storage space. Now this boat is very...
