Plan B. I'm thinking use tiller extension for now, if I really want the center console it will come later with a new engine. Forward deck for trolling motor. - Battery under forward platform. Pedastil seat in front platform. Rod locker on right side. Lockers on left for tackle. Rear platform...

I see alot of aluminum angle being used. 1", 1.25", 1.5". 1/16 guage and .90. Any suggestions on the "go to" size for aluminum angle for flooring structure, not long spans. I assume sometimes they are back to back so rivet sizes as well. Sketching it out now.

Good stuff guys. Can anybody direct me to an aluminum side console ? and yes there 3 boxes in my stern. Two are closed. (flotation ? ) then the smaller box does open I would like to get two 6 gallon tanks and battery in the stern. Also would like to get small bow deck to support trolling...

This is great advice. Thanks so much for taking the time.

Great responses. Thank you. I do like the idea of just making an opening in the middle bench. I know the importance of structural integrity but honestly its a bay boat, If its white caps I'm not on the water. I little flex does not freak me out. I do want a flat floor and a console...

Anybody have thoughts on a modification like this on my 18' Princecraft ?

Very nice. Is your side console aluminum or fiberglass ? Maybe I would platform rear two benches, remove center bench and platform forward ?

Not fixated on Center console although I like idea of removing a bench or two in place for open deck. Good point on engine change to remote, will check.

Starting planning for my Spring Project. Looking for input on 1. Adding floor 2. Adding small center console 3. Rear casting deck 4. Forward casting deck. Very glad I found tinboats.net. Most of the other sites focus mainly on smaller John Boats. I upgraded membership and hope to document...

At 65 I want a simple light boat I can toss into Plymouth Bay and chase stripers and run the Grand kids out to the beach and flats. Here she it, just washed and now planning. I would love ideas. This is not a freshwater bass boat although it will spend some time inland. Mostly the bays...

Looks like my Sears. 11 something. Narrow.
