Hello All!
By reading a lot of these project everyone has shared on here I've been inspired to have a go with this.
I just bought this little 13' 1968 Sears v-hull, and was wondering what suggestion you guys and gals could give me on some adding a deck. I would like to remove the center bench and extending the front deck about a foot back. My question is....would this extra foot back behind the front bench be enough to stabilize collapsing?
Also, the transom brace appears to be broken at the top of the brace.....is this a easy fix? Feedback please.
I'm in the process of rebuilding the transom board that you can see was a quick fix from the previous owners. And by rebuilding I mean, sealing a piece one piece board and replacing what is there now.
I believe for me designing the framework seems to be the most difficult part of this concept. I plan on buying a motor for it eventually and making a deck behind the rear bench and the front bench. Somehow the thought of creating the frame work for the bow seems near impossible, at least in my mind right now. So I'll wait to hear what you all suggest.
Thank you in advance for any input you may have.
