[QUOTE="SVOMike86, post: 109504, member: 2070"] So, essentially, when the extra flotation is welded on, it will be somewhere around a 1446-47. Hopefully it floats nice and high because we have some decent inshore fishing around Virginia Beach, and redfish can get up in places that scrape the bottom of kayaks; so as long as I can get anywhere near that, I'll be happy. Has anyone powdercated an entire boat before? I tried to search for it, but couldn't really find anything. I'm wondering how it holds up. I also have a trailer for the boat, which is in decent shape. I might strip it and paint that to get it looking new. I would like to build the deck to the level of the livewell, or maybe an inch higher, and make the decks flush all the way around, which I think would make it look nice.
