14 ft aluminum jon that I picked up last week. Got a pretty good deal, gave $250 for the boat motor and trailer. Motor is a 7.5 hp sears gamefisher that probably need a car rebuild (40 bucks). The boat did need a little work. I ripped out the old nasty carpet and fixed a couple holes on the bottom. So far I made the frame for a platform to take some pressure of the center because it seemed a little weak and put plywood on top. Going to carpet it in the morning and take her out the water and see how she does. Eventually I plan on putting a livewell and possibly a casting deck on the front. Any thoughts about weight issues if I but both the trolling motor, outboard, and battery in the back with me in it. Below are some pictures of what I have done so far.
