New here, I've had plenty of boats mostly aluminum and two fiberglass bass boats. A Bass Cat and Skeeter. My most recent Weldbilt 1548 kept cracking welds and cracking in spots where there were no welds and I just sold my Bass Cat last week. So I decided to buy me a new aluminum hull. I picked up an Alweld 1648F .100 ga. No real options, nothing fancy. My previous boats have usually already been modified to my liking, whether it be a hunting boat or bass boat. This boat will pull multiple duties as a bass boat, duck boat, crappie boat, trotline rig, shallow water, creek running and bow fishing. I hope to have it done before I move to Toledo Bend in the summer. Plans are: Lights of course(NAV and a 12" LED lightbar), fiberglass paneling floor covered with a hydro turf alternative, deck and bench will be covered also, 5 gang toggle switch panel install, jack plate or pt-130 T&T depending on if I re-power. Power Pole micro anchors and lots of seat bases for hunting and fishing versatility.
This is all I have so far:

I had to modify the trailer some to fit the bigger boat. I'm debating on buying a new trailer but I hate to spend the money for the trailer to just sit under a tree at Toledo Bend while the boat stays in the boat house.
Wiring, light install, and possibly floors will start tomorrow.
