Good evening folks,
New here, just some background, I work for a scrap metal company in Phoenix, AZ. I just bought an 14' Aluminum boat from the company that came in to be scrapped. I will post pictures later but want to ask some questions. I love to fish and before I moved here to AZ I had a small 12' v hull. Had to get rid of it before I moved, now 3 1/2 years later it is time to get a new boat and project to do. :shock: Anyway I have never re-stored or fixed up a boat before so I will need help. The boat that I bought looks like a great hull but no seats or even the original brackets to hold the seats. We are going to strip it down reseal and repaint it. My main question is this, I would like to build a deck in the boat for bass fishin, but should I try to somehow re-install the benches and work off that or just start fresh and build the deck with no benches at all? Thanks in advance and I will post pics next post.
