[QUOTE="SeanB, post: 334795, member: 13090"] Hi everyone. I have enjoyed all the free advice and ideas. I am finally beginning my Lund conversion. I bought the boat a few years ago for this very reason, but have not gotten to the meat yet. I am looking forward to any and all advice/counsel I can get. The rig is pretty solid but needed a lot of work. The existing floor was rotted, water logged, and poorly designed. I basically purchased it for the bones and the 25HP Johnson tiller that it came with. I've posted some pics of the boat as it was when I purchased it, and as it is now. I have it cleaned up, partially painted, the trailer fixed up, and the primary floor framed. I have a good idea on the design of the boat up to the front seat. Since I do not plan on adding a bow trolling motor, any front deck would be simply for storage. I've seen the feedback here on the center of gravity issues, and have experienced smaller boats like this with a casting deck and was not completely comfortable standing up in any kind of chop. This boat is a bit deeper than what I have experienced, so if anyone has experience with this particular model (or similar) and a front deck, I would appreciate feedback. Thanks for any input.
