Got the Weldbilt 1648 finished, one step at a time. Going on craigslist and here for sale with just 10 hours...knew I wanted a larger hull...haha
Replaced cleats with double no-snag eyes, treated smooth marine flooring, plug in trolling motor & mount, removable casting brace, two front seat receivers for different style pedestals, three lockable hatches and live well. Put vented expanded metal on the front hatch that holds two 6 gallon under deck fuel tanks. 50/35 Tohatsu 2 stroke with splash plate above intake foot, (made the trim more adjustable with less spray).
The middle watertight hatch is for the trolling motor battery to keep stowed away from the forward under-deck tanks and has a rail for a slider seat base. Running lights are battery powered and can be removed and stowed. Tried to get the hull as clean and fly-fish friendly as my Hyde drift boat.
