Well if you're selling it for scrap let me know! Lol looks like an awesome project. Lots of work but when you finish it will feel all that much better. I don't know about pulling all the ribs... If it were me I'd clean it up, leak test, rebuck any leaky rivets(replace if too bad) and then...

Looking great. Any other plans for it? Or just fish it?

I have heard that Lowe bought out sea nymph. Just wasn't sure what year. I just looked those up and I think that's what I will go with for my drivers seat mount. Good price too! Thanks again for the information.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to look into that 60 inch wide slider. My benches are rounded on the edges as well and it would be nice to be able to position the seat anywhere side to side.

Thanks for the kind words. What options did you come up with, Jeff? I'm about to be to the point where I need to make that decision and buy some mounts and hardware by next weekend.

I started trying to get an idea of how I want the seat layout. I'm going to cut this post in half and mount it on a swivel eze tilt and slide for the drivers seat. This is where the front one is getting mounted but I'm going to use a flush mount pin base so its removable. Sorry about the...

I got a little bit done today. Not as much as I planned and a few things didn't work out the way I wanted. I got the sides cut and installed for the boxes and hinges put on the lids. I wanted the hinges to be outboard on the long sides but I couldn't make it work out to where everything still...

That boat turned out beautiful. How that paint holding up? Fairly durable? I wish I had a bit more room under the center deck of my project for a flush mount seat base but I've only got about 2 to 3 inches. That boat definitely transformed. Very professional looking work!

This boat is turning out awesome! I love how open it is. I've got to keep my eyes open for one of these. They go cheaper around here than a regular jon boat.

Jeff, I'm in the middle of my build and have been trying to figure this out as well. I know if I just mount to the bench this will happen. I'm going to carpet some .5 inch plywood to match the rest of the interior, the same size as the whole bench and screw in to the bench and then put this...

Looking good. I'm really dreading the paint part of my project. It's one of my least favorite things to do. Have you tested that motor again? I've had that happen on a couple of motors. One it turned out to be that and the other I flipped the dog and it was still doing it. Ended up being a spun...

Thanks! Yea, the plan is to foam in the middle sections on both sides and use the other four compartments for tackle and other miscellaneous stuff. I should have the mid section finished up tomorrow so I'll post more pics. Plan to modify or just re-do the front deck next weekend.

I got a little more work done yesterday. Applied a few coats of minwax helsman to the floor and the lids for the side boxes and got them carpeted this morning. Here's a few pics of them laid in place so I can make templates for the sides. Starting to look like a boat again

nice little honda. i never see any of the older hondas around here. does it push the boat pretty well?

great job on that wood work and carpeting. that thing turned out sweet.
