[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 411437, member: 16025"] I guess it's time to start a build! I have a 14ft shallow V with a 6 horse Johnson motor. Boat I'd a 1972 Montgomery ward Seaking and motor is a '77 seahorse. The trailer has no identification, though I doubt it to be homemade. I got this all for a steal, as I got it from the original owner and it has been stored inside all its life, having not been used in the past 12 years too. I had a lot of options though I settled on the cheapest and simplest build design I could do. With a small boat that I'll likely resell to fund a larger boat eventually in a year or two, I decided to keep the seats in and just deck over the top. This will give me much needed storage as well as space to stand and move comfortably while using a bow mount trolling motor. Yesterday I began building the framework for the boat. Tomorrow, I will seal and cut the deck. The framing surprised me because I did not use a lot of wood like I've seen and yet it is very sturdy. I took it to the lake with a piece of 1/2" plywood laid over and it did not flex at all under my weight! pics and details to come! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
