[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 401772, member: 9937"] Just bought this boat off of my grandpa. It is an little older, 1986 Dakota manufacturing 1650. Plan on a rear lid made out of aluminum. As well as aluminum casting deck extension up front. The name of the game is simplicity for this boat. The interior will be sprayed in tan Rustoleum bedliner instead of carpet. My current rig, a Lowe 1440 has aluminum decks and carpet. The carpet is a pain in the neck to keep clean, plus it always seems the glue comes loose. Not to mention when you lay a fish on it the slime seeps in. I am one that likes you things to be perfect. Even though it's only a fishing boat I HATED fishing in rain and getting my carpet wet. This boat will be worry free! Wash it out after a day of catfishing and let it air dry! The trailer needs work too. New bunks bottom and side, new winch mounting post (current one is wrong for the trailer and is way too low for where the eye is located for the hook). Also a good sanding and roll on bedliner. Not to mention the bend it has in the center where my grandpa rigged up a support tube. May be cutting that out, fixing the bend, then supporting it again. [/QUOTE]
