Hey all
Man this site is addicting. Thanks to all who have contributed.
This is my second boat. I upgraded at the end of last year from my two man plastic boat. I've only had her out on the water once last year before I put her away for the winter. The boat is a 2012 Lund wc14 with a 2016 20 HP Yamaha 4 stroke. The length of the boat is 14.5 ft with a beam of 69". I noticed the transom braces were cracked so I plan on getting them welded. Other than that the boat is in great shape.
On to the conversion. The plan is to have a casting deck that is extended to the first rib. A flat floor with a rod locker on one side and storage on the other. And a rear casting deck at the back. I'll be using aluminum angle and sheet. I'll be covering the decks with marine vinyl.
One question that I have is how to support the front of the front deck. There aren't any rib at the bow of the boat and there isn't a small seat at the front either. I'm planning on adding a cap for my bow mounted trolling motor. So I was think I could hang it from there and add some extra support.
If you have any questions or comments it would be appreciated.
Thanks
