:beer: :fishing2: I have a 1973 Mirrocraft 14 foot V-hull, that I bought about 6 years ago. I bought it from my Grandfathers best friend so it was practically given to me. It came with a 50 Lbs. thrust Minn Kota trolling motor. I took it out once with my cousin and his boy. We were only at a little lake near home and figured two fully charged batteries would last us all day. We were wrong. My cousin and I took turns rowing back to the dock. After listing to his son for an hour and a half whining about how cold it was and "we didn't even catch anything." I decided to never take it out again until I got a gas motor. So it's been sitting first in the drive way of my Moms house then when she moved I bought three new tires for the trailer and let it sit for an other two years before I decided to actually do something with it. I tried to give it away to my best friend who would get a lot more use out of it. But he had just traded his motor for an other shotgun. So he didn't want it. I posted pictures at work thinking one of the guys might want to buy it.... nope, nobody is interested in a 1973 riveted boat. So I've decided..... I'm going to modify my boat into a bass boat in the winter/spring and save up for a gas motor and by summer I will be hitting the lake every weekend.
That’s a little of my story....
Since my decision to modify my boat I've been searching like crazy for ideas and plans. I've found this site to be very helpful. I plan on posting pictures of the progress and maybe some helpful tips as I make my way though my modification. And if anyone reads this and checks out my pictures I would really appreciate and constructive criticism, as I am not a craftsman, nor have I done anything like this, ever. I'm just for normal average working gal who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty.
 
Here is the complete boat, for now.
