    Plywood decks

    Plywood is easy for me to get work with and someday repair. I do some cold weather fishing and I find a wood floor better underfoot when the water is cold.

    benefits of adding a floor ? suggestions for grab bar ?

    My "new" boat is the same size as yours. I have had boats with and without floors. I like a floor because it gives me a more stable platform to stand and fish from. It lets me leave my tackle box open, it is also easier to move around on the boat when you have a flat floor. My wife is...

    paint options

    Just picked up a "new" 14 Lowe jon boat. It is in pretty fair shape, needs transom plywood replaced and a lot of clean up, but said not to leak. I would really like to put a coat of paint on it before next spring. (I will not be removing any of the old paint, it is dull but otherwise seems...
