Well, it has been almost over two years since I put that foam padding in our Sea Nymph and.... It’s still holding up fine. The only negatives so far is if I kneel on it for a while, I get black smudges on my knees, so it is breaking down somewhat. Also, if there is a cooler, tackle box, etc...

I covered the rest of the benches tonight in the foam, and raised the center deck to the same height as the benches. I yanked the troublesome Merc 40, controls and tank off of it, and will now go all electric with 2 trollers. Re: Doge... I sold half my Doge when it hit 0.70, cashed it out, paid...

10 month update: The foam mats are holding up great! Fished on it maybe 20-25 days on the water the past 10 months. The main center floor size was too big for a single piece of foam mat, so I just stapled a extra piece of carpet on it, and it weathered/wore much worse than the foam. I didn’t...

I just today mounted those same guide bunks on my shorelandr trailer for my 14’ Sea Nymph. The trailer was obviously not originally made for that boat, and I always struggled getting it on straight... to the point I was using my kayak way more often. Took about 2 hrs to get them mounted and...

One more minimalist “console” I came across...

Console on my Sea Nymph:

I have a ‘81 Sea Nymph JB 142 that has a neat little side console. Just enough room for the steering rack and a few switches. The motor controls are mounted on a L-bracket on the bench. This console leaves the entire mid-floor open. Could not be more simple as a DIY project. My photos Of my...

This boat will be my mobile fishing rig. This Sea Nymph will be covered and trailered and fished at non-home ground lake. If we had the money, we’d have bought a Tracker Grizzly and not worry about decking (or wood... or covering it... or my knees!). I have a pontoon I beach at my home lake...

Maybe, but hydro turf is about $365 for the sheets to do this cheap boat we found. The foam mats were $44. Im trying to keep the cost of this rat boat/motor/trailer to under $800. I have a FeelFree Dorado pedal kayak that has what I’m sure is hydroturf factory installed. It was 3 times the...

I fished the boat twice this weekend and really like the anti fatigue mat! The fishing was a scrum yesterday with 14 bass in 2 hrs. on the water. And 20 min of that was screwing with the motor fuel system ( that’s a interesting story I’ll share sometime...). A couple fish were big’uns and had...

So on the foredeck..... I used carpet tape around the edges and a few strips in the middle. Did while hot in the sun (95*). Checked it a while ago (82*) and looks good. I also covered the casting deck today with it, but I glued it down with weld wood. Let me tell you, that stuff is sticky...

First post here! Great forum you have here. Recently partnered with my son on a 1981 Sea Nymph JB 142 and am redecking the fore and casting deck. I have two other boats with carpeting on them, and thought I’d try something easier to maintain on this ratty boat. Here’s the main point: I bought...

Old guy, but new here! Located at the juncture of the Missouri and Platte rivers in Nebraska. My son and I recently partnered on a restore project: a 1981 Sea Nymph JB 142. This boat was probably fished every single day possible the last 39 years! Real Ratty but complete! The wood on the...
