Yep, boats been out and tested. No leaks and everything works as it should. I could probably benefit from an 18hp or so to push all that 3/4 ply around. I need to get some pics up of the bait/livewell I put in. That thing worked like a charm too.

Thanks man, the wood is not marine grade. I read somewhere (whether this is true or not, I don't know) that the only difference between treated and marine grade plywood is that the marine grade has no knots in it. Seeing as that I'm really cheap, I took this as fact and bought the much cheaper...

Here's the pics, any questions just ask

I got some Vinyl put on the boat from doityourselflettering.com

Alright! Finally got it painted. Quite the chore when you have loaded it up with what feels like 900 lbs of 3/4" ply. Next one, I paint first then do the interior.

Thanks, I finally got the last pulls put into the rod locker. I'm needing replacement corner brackets, I destroyed mine in an Ill fated attempt to place rod holders through them (In Hindsight, I should have noticed the downward angle would tilt them so my rod tips would cross). Has anyone ever...

Ok, I finally got the other sides storage done. Here's a couple pics, I need to clean up the boat and add a few pulls to make it so I can open the last 2 openings. Now I gotta get to work on a custom livewell and wiring everything out. I'm gonna compartmentalize the left side too.

Thanks on the info on the Brand Saw. It definitely is a Richline. I finally did some more work and got the rod locker done. I found out that if you decide to frame out, carpet, and finish the openings in the basement rather than on your boat, you have a good chance of screwing it all up. I...

Check out my post, I am working on the same boat. What I believe to be the original transom is on the first pic. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=32529 I used the transom on the boat as a template to make my own out of oak plywood (actually plied it myself out of 3-1/4"...

Got rod locker and storage framed out I used rigid insulation and just cut it to fill the gaps. I suggest asking someone else though because all I know is that it floats, but there probably is something I don't know about that will make the rigid spontaneously combust sending me to the bottom...

Heres that step I missed. Got this jam-packed with foam underneath now too

Is there a Hull ID Stamped on the rear near the transom? Mine was stamped like 3 times just to the right of the transom. If you find that it's coded for make model and year and you can look it up that way. But, if it's not on there just pretend I said "I don't know"

Got a pretty good buy on an 83' Suzuki 9.9 again off of craigslist. Bought all the couplings for the gas tank and sat around perplexed for quite some time. Turns out I had an 87' gas tank and once again had to buy all new fittings, but it's working like a champ now. Also got a 40# thrust bow...

Trailer stripped, primed, repainted, and New Bunks. Got the whole thing rewired and ready to go. And the boat again. Nothing done but the Transom ripped off and junked.

Got myself a 14' v-bottom with a trailer off of Craigslist and started my first conversion. Here's the boat as it was sold to me Junky Trailer
