[QUOTE="mfu5324, post: 334222, member: 13055"] Since this was a new purchase, I was able to make a few selections. Note goto https://www.backwoodslanding.com if you want to see the options available. 1. Length 12 foot, Floor Width 4 foot, Width across the top of the boat 68 inches 2. Side Height = 21 inches 3. 0.80 Guage Aluminum (could have selected 1 guage, but the weight went up by 60 pounds 4. Weight = 220 pounds 5. Transom Height (15 or 20?) I had read earlier posts that stated Weldbilt did not offer 20 inch transoms, but I asked and they said they did so ordered a 20 inch 6. Color --- green, brown or unpainted? Green was out, for some reason it just isn't appealing to me, Brown looks the best I think. When you paint the boats, all the welds and scratches disappear and the boat looks nice. However, I decided on an unpainted finish (no extra cost). I didn't realize they offered unpainted versions but they do. The reason for the unpainted is first, no paint to chip when I hit trees and logs, easier to weld fixes if necessary (no painting required), and I think they look good. The problem with unpainted finish, HOT HOT HOT shiny shiny shiny!.. need I say more... but I have a solution for that... so below are the pics the day I picked it up [/QUOTE]
