I got stopped by an environmental police officer today. He asked for my license and then immediately starting asking questions about the boat and how I build it. Saying how it was such a nice rig, great work, looks really good you did a great job. Then we just talked about bass fishing and just...

Then I used the loctite polyurethane glue to adhere them to the boat

Thanks!! Ya I ran them snug up against the ribs to the right.

I would be surprised if I added more than 125lbs with battery lumber carpet

I had 52" in the very back of the boat and a 59" beam. The stability was kinda a issue before hand but that is why I created the floor so low. I used 2x4s and cut them to length and at a 45* angle and adhered them to the bottom of the boat with loctite polyurethane adhesive. No screws are in...

Thanks! Your build seems to be going well yourself

Looks like your build is moving right along! Great work, keep it going fishing season is upon is!!

Thank you muffin!!! I am happy with it!!

The previous owner saw the boat, asked if he could buy it back! hahaha!!! :LOL2: I said no way!!! [-X

Thank You!!! Well worth the time and effort put into it. It has been a lot of fun thus far. Just need water temps. to raise a little bit and maybe we can actually catch some fish! [-o<

Ya I wanted to do a bit more with storage and such, but after thinking it over. I don't take a lot with me in the first place, so I just felt this was the best path.

A lot of time, hard work, and cash. But totally worth it. I am really looking forward to using it all summer long! Here are some pictures of both motors on the water and a good side by side comparison picture of my transformation.

starboard and port side view of the finished product!

Next I bought the battery and did the wiring for it, went from the trolling motor outlet to the 50 amp breaker, to the battery. Then I mounted my trolling motor bracket and Hull numbers!! Finishing touches! Hard work pays off!!!

I drilled a hole in the deck for the seat bases and installed the fishing seats that I got from Bass Pro.

Carpeting came out pretty well. I am happy with how it looks for the most part.

Here will be the mounting deck for the bow mounted trolling motor.

I began carpeting all the plywood after the Spar Urethane fully dried.

I finally finished the deck flooring, I had my dad help me so we could fit a whole 8' sheet of plywood in. I then coated all the lumber with Hellsman Spar Urethane to make it water resistant. I also mocked up where I wanted my seat bases to be, and to make sure to properly plan for them with the...

I began re-structuring the boat for stability. After removing the middle and rear benches, it stability of the boat did worry me some. Became much less structurally sound. So I ran a 2x4 down the side, and tied them into the pre-existing brackets that held the benches. I then screwed the back of...
