got original decals for it! I installed the floor and the side support/benches as well as the rod storage doors

Here is my "in floor" rod storage! it turned out pretty good! I am still making the floor pieces. (the two pipes on each outside are for wiring, fuel line, or whatever else may need to get from front to back)

Finally got to start framing the floor for the boat! I am keeping it level with the bottom of the front bench, (which is the support for the casting deck.) I put 2 2X6 from front to back and ran 2x4 to the sides. I have 2 in the floor rod storage compartments. I will post more detailed pics of...

I have been think of the best way to mount my trolling motor... it is a challenge because on the "Alaskan" style boats the bow curves up in the front. I will post some pics of what I did just I case somebody else is facing the same dilemma. I made small "L" brackets and bent the stand/base that...

I heard some geese fly over and I am hoping to get this boat usable by the mid-season. I camo'd her up yesterday and am pretty happy with how the outside turned out. I have to complete the inside still. thought I throw up a couple pics

today I started work on a casting deck for the front of the boat (still looking for the right name). I will post a couple pics. please tell me what you think and what I should improve on. My main concern is how to effectively seal it to keep it from rotting. I have read a bunch on this and...

Boat got delivered today... I still need to get a trailer. What is my first step? Should I flip her over and paint the bottom (bare aluminum) and the sides while it's just sitting here? If so, what should I use. I see all the epoxy products, but they are very $ #-o . They cost more then I payed...

Bobberboy, Thanks for the input. I will be pm'ing crappie_slayer I like the idea of using stronger materials to start he brace that would hold the floor in place. thanks Ben

here are my fishing partners.

HI My name is Ben I' 30 and I have been fishing in my father (and grandfathers before him) 13' aluminum row boat. We have had a blast in it. but no I have 4 kids and Grandpa that all want to go fishing so it was time to upgrade. I was shocked by the price of new boats and I decided to use some...
