I actually mad a simple easily removable deck and now that I have fished from it twice! Now I feel it has made fishing more comfortable, although I now have thought some other stuff would had made it better yet. (Recessed trolling motor control) and a couple doors with some storage boxes...

Very nice explanation, thanks you for the insight I'm looking to do something similar Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

That looks nice, do you have any pictures of the frame that supports the platform in the front? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

My 16' V in the Bow, I am replacing the floor in the boat and was thinking of maybe raising this one up level with the first bench but am in between. What's been people experience positives and negatives of higher deck? I bass fish and also do quite a bit of crappie and pan fishing. Just curious...

I'd say anything around 3-500 is a good deal. Right now I'm debating adding a front deck, or maybe just a flat floor throughout not sure what direction I want to go Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

Yeah well I was meaning more of the inside of it... Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

This is what I use as of now, I searched a good while and was looking for flat bottom and ran across this. It's a 16' semi V and at the top it's about 70" wide. Have a 15hp Johnson that moves it plenty fast and have added a front mount troller. Very stable all around tin! You can find good deals...

Have you go any pictures of the inside of your boat? Towards the front? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I'll be testing it Saturday! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

Hard to see from the angle but I I'd make sure it wouldn't bump the dock thanks for the input Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I've bought a bow mount foot control trolling motor. I have to Fab a piece to mount the motor. There's a bit of overhang on the front. From the more experienced ones how does the mounting of it look Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I've got a compressor and I think I can get an air hammer for reasonable price and make one of the adapters for it work to drive rivets. I'm not sure what the length would be I'm waiting til fishing season is Dene before I tear into it lol Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

Ok what type of rivets would you suggest to reinstall the brace through the hull? I've seen closed end rivets but not sure if they would be strong enough. Is it very difficult to install the solid type rivet like they use to manufacture rivited boats? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

I think I may end up just taking the brace completely out as you mentioned and then I will just use my cut off tool to remove the aluminum covering the board to make it easier. I think if I cut it off about an inch from the very top all the way across it will be ok. The previous owner had a 9.9...

I would normally just buzz the top off with a cutoff tool but this boat is all welded around the top corner brace and don't want to cut it, Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
