27 for me, please... heading or Minnesota today. Anyone in the Farm Island Lake area, feel free to stop by the Farm Island Lake Resort and Campground in the next week (through 8/7) and introduce yourself!

Andrew--- Do you have only the one seat on the back bench? I don't see another post hole for a center seat on that bench. I have a Lund Semi-V that I am reworking and am trying to deal with ideas for seating placement. It also has a console, which is currently disconnected and removed---see...

Thanks, guys, that is what I had imagined...problem is that the darn boat sits outside (no place to store it) and we have been getting a lot of rain lately here in Central IL, so getting the debris dry enough to vacuum out is a pain in the #$^&! Thanks for the feedback!

Questions about all that foam...and the leftover plywood (disintegrated) in the bottom... Some of that foam looks like packing foam from a TV or other large electronic device (white, breaks down into little popcorn looking pieces) and backs up some of the draining in the ribs of the boat...

I have changed the topic on this post, simply because so many of us newbies, use "newbie" in the subject line...thought that it might be beneficial to actually state what this project was. I am thinking that if I want to try to get this on the water, yet this year, I just need to replace the...

The box on the port side is sealed and has the occupancy/load tag riveted to it. The boxes on the starboard have the drivers seat attached to one, a flip up compartment on another, and I don't know about the box on the sidewall...right now all of the cabling from the controls are draped across...

Thanks for the idea...where would I look for something like that and how difficult would it be to modify the steering controls to go to tiller?

Jim, thanks for the links...I had already seen a lot of them this morning. I guess my biggest issue is trying to determine how to incorporate the console into the layout. Because it takes up so much space, it seems like a waste to have it, but I also don't want to have to look at replacing the...

I changed the topic of this thread from "Newbie...thanks for ideas...need help... Pictures of what I am starting with are attached... Yes, these pictures actually include plants...this boat has set outdoors at a farm for the last two years, but I got it for a reat price...FREE. This is a 1984...
