Hey my name is Coey and after being a long time lurker around this site I have decided to modify my 1961 Sea King model PDUT-14 built by Rebco a division of South West MFG ( AKA Arkansas Traveler ). I originally bought this boat two years ago for $350 and it came with a wore out but salvageable home made trailer and a 2hp Yamaha made mariner missing the calem, original gas tank, and it was rigged with a push mower tank on top. The motor ran very well and I fished out of it like it was for a year. Last year I got a 2011 Tohatsu 4hp 4 stroke for $650 ( New Old stock motor ) I added a small casting deck between the storage shelf and the bench near the bow, plus I added a bow mount trolling motor. The deck was ok but I did not have any storage and I kept tripping over the middle seat and the battery that was strapped down on top of the deck. I also added 3/8" thick rubber horse stall matt to quiet the boat down. My plans are to build a raised casting deck that will go from the second bench forward, have a storage box on each side from the casting deck back to the back bench, carpet the deck and back bench, repaint the boat and fix any leaky seams and add flotation to the boat, I will not be adding a floor between the second bench and the back bench since it is pretty flat and level I will leave my rubber matting there. Now here are some pictures. ( I Have already started removing most of the paint and striped down the boat minus the trolling motor mount. )
The transom is weathered but solid ( It's original if you can believe that)
