[QUOTE="sbm2240, post: 197064, member: 5698"] The guy I bought if from was the original owner and provided me with the original purchase receipts from the dealer. The trailer however is a "home-made" utility trailer converted to a boat trailer. It does the job, however I will be purchasing a bunk boat trailer shortly. Ok, now to the boat itself. Here are a few pictures of my first modification. I added a front casting deck with large storage area underneath. I used multiple 2x3s with standard plywood. I cut and tested my design (using gorilla duct tape to hold in place) to ensure the proper fit. Then used Thompson Water seal on every inch of wood. Then carpeted the decking, cutting the hole for storage first and installed. We tested this last weekend and the extra weight on the front was not noticeable. However, having the storage hatch for life vests, anchor, rope, drinks (non-alcoholic of course) and extra tackle was awesome. It got everything off the floors giving us more room to stand and fish. Here are a few pictures... [/QUOTE]
