Here are a few pics of my progress. One of the things I like about my mod is that I found an old tackle box, ripped it apart, and used it in one of my storage bins. I will post more pics when I am done.

One of the things I am thinking about doing is putting a cooler in the space between the front and rear deck and use it for a live well. The live well that is built into the boat is not very big. It would be perfect for minnows though. Any thoughts? Here is a pic of the cooler I am thinking of using. The maximum weight of the boat is 900lbs for gear and crew. The boat is a 1448.



Here is an idea of where I would mount it.

Looking good so far! I like the idea of the cooler. Are you going ot make it permanent or removable?

I am not sure, right now I am leaning toward permanent. Permanent would look more like it was built into the boat. What do you think?

It is regular wood that is sealed.

nice, i like that front-end setup a lot

I suggest making the cooler removable - just so you can clean it. I really like teh tackle box modification, did you drill drainage holes in the bottom?

Same here, I would make it removable. You can always remove it to clean it, and then leave it off when not needed also.

Progress looks good! Concur with the others about making the livewell removeable
