[QUOTE="DocBrown, post: 433033, member: 12529"] Hi folks. This is my first post but I've been lurking and using the forum as a reference for quite a while. I'm in the process of rebuilding my Landau 1470 Jon boat. My dad originally did a "bass boat conversion" on the boat in the 80's and I redid the boat in early 2000's w my brothers. It spent a lot of time out in the weather and was in need of attention if I'm going to keep fishing out of it with my kids. The plan is extend the front deck and redo all the framework in aluminum to reduce weight vs previous builds which used wood framework. The most recent build w/ my brothers had two large pedestal seat bases, one on the main lower floor, another on a step up toward the front, and the original short front deck. I'm installing recessed 3/4 pin seat bases, 2 in main floor and one on the new deck. I'm also moving the battery to the front under the deck along with adding a lot of under deck storage with flush hatches. I'll add more posts with details and progress pics up to this point, but for now check out my YouTube channel to see my intro video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ73jrd75N4 I'll be posting more update videos to cover project progress as I go.
