Just got the stuff to get started on my 12' flat bottom upgrade.
I got the boat on Craigslist for 500 dollars on the trailer with trolling motor, battery, anchor, oars, and two seats. I think it was a good deal. However the boat is far from ready to claim the title "Get Phished 3". My dad has a 16' Jon boat that we decked out and gave the title "Get Phished 2"
So this weekend I picked up the stuff to get started: Fish finder, navigation lights, new tires, spotlight, new seat, 2 seat posts, tire holder, U bolts, L bracket, 1 1/4 PVC, 1/2" pressure treated plywood, 1" Foam board, anchor lock, bildge pump, 4 toggle switches, pole holders, rod storage, 40ft wire, seat swivel, spare tire holder,battery charger, and driving lights.
So here is the overall plan. I'm going to use the foam and plywood to make a removable deck in the bottom front and back. The two seats will be mounted to the removable decking. Trolling motor and battery(s) up front, looking for a 5hp motor for the back, and I'm thinking about putting a double live well in the middle bench.
