my 12' appleby

I would have to disagree on the comments about a casting deck not being stable on the semi V 12' boats. My first build thread on this site was on a 12' semi v and I had a front and rear casting deck on it that was about 4" below the top of the boat and it was great to fish on. With myself and a buddy we would fish all day both standing as it had no seats in it and even a few times with a third person standing on the bottom of the boat in between the decks and never had any stability issues. It wasnt as tippy as some would say it is. But, this all depends on the shape and design of the boat. I never did know the make and model of mine but it was very stable with front and rear casting decks.

I picked my jetski trailer up for $100 for my 12' boat. Got to add about 4' to the tongue, moved the bunks a bit wider on the frame also. Mine is galvanized steel so I sanded it down to bare steel and primed it with self etching primer. All that's left for it is to weld the tongue extension and winch post on, primer the extended part and paint the trailer, then repack the bearings and it'll be ready to go.
Good luck on yours.

Hope you get the trailer & good luck!

Once you get a trailer, then you can add a deck!
