[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 165452, member: 3833"] You got a deal! It looks like a tough old boat. If you get into much wave action, it will be like riding a bull with the current steering arrangement. I think that's why you don't see that setup anymore. The ride's always more comfortable in the back. That would be great with a small center console toward the rear. Maybe raise the rear floor up to the level of the front and add a belly tank underneath. I agree about the wasted space at the rear. Are there portable tanks either in the hinged compartments or the big splashwell? I'd like to see a picture looking down into the splashwell. It does look large. That's a weird finish on the AL. Almost looks like galvanized steel. Good project boat for sure. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
