boat is working real well. think im going to redo the wiring and make it cleaner in the back though. even with the decking and all. i still get 24 mph on gps with only me and gear battery and gas tank with a 15 horse motor. i think that is awesome

i think i will cut more bunks and make them about 2 foot longer and see how it goes.

i have trouble loading my boat on the trailer. the back end seemd to float off when retrieving. is the trailer too deep? what can i do to modify the trailer to ride the boat up on the trailer without alot of cash?

tell me what yall think from the before and after pics

i have recently painted my boat. you can see on the mod links, "my 14 ft. starcraft". when i got the boat, the paint was bad so i scuffed it with a soft brillo pad and washed it really good. sanded the inside to cut the flaking paint. you dont have to get to bare metal, but remeber if the paint...

you definately want to use aluminum angle for framing. never rots, never rusts, never replace it. its expensive, but buy it only once. ive just gotten the framing done on my project. you can see my progress under :my 14 ft starcraft:

yes i agree. i was trying to figure something out with that. all though im trying to stay away from wood, except the decking, i think ill use a 2x2 post in the center, but when i trial fitted, if someone was to step off center, it still went up against the boat. i rounded off the corners of the...

alrighty, so i have all the framing done for the front deck and floor. does anyone see where i may have problems? the battery is not going in the front. that was just laying out of the way. the front hole is where the livewell will be and storage compartment will be behind the front bench. next...
