I bought this boat new the weekend before memorial day as a quick fix to a broken transom on my 14ft Randall Craft. It was supposed to be a cheap quick solution for a camping trip we took on memorial weekend. So I stripped down the old Randall took the seats out and the Briggs and Stratton 5hp and the MK transom mount TM.

Well that did'nt last long I went in search of more motor and found this 15hp Tohatsu for less than 500.00 all it needed was a tune up and carb rebuild. I didnt rebuild it I replaced it with a 18 carb brand new. I have a water pump repair kit coming it pumps good but I want to be sure of what I have so it will be replaced also.

Now I want a little nicer interior so the build begins. The first thing I did was order a MK bow mount trolling motor. Then purchased the navigation lights and a bilge pump. And picked up a set of Tempress high back seat in camo. The next thing I did was hooked it to my truck and struck out for Cartersville Ga. to see a nice young man by the name of Dawson. (thanks to trolling here and seeing he was a sponsor) at Fish On Fabrications. Here are some before pics and in about two weeks I should have the after pics.

this is a very neat idea that Dawson came up with. He extended the seat with the livewell about 3 inches and that left a hollow between the original bulkhead and the new one in that space he ran all the plumbing for the livewell totally hidden

I left the camera at the shop today, but I'll get some progress pictures posted sometime this week!
 
Sorry guys. I came across this post while searching for something else, and realized I never posted the photos.

A few before photos.








The deck extension.




Lower deck.




Chase for livewell wiring/plumbing.




Little carpet and some accessories, and she's ready to go!









Trolling motor bracket.






 
The comfort level is much higher after the upgrades. And it planes out much better now that the battery is moved forward.
 
Boat looks great!!!! How is the powedrive trolling motor working for you?

Your boat looks really good. Does the 15 hp push your boat good enough and get it on plane good?
