Thanks fool4fish1226, the effort was definitely worth it. My son and I ended up with a very comfortable boat. We just have a a few more things to figure out (like rod holders for trolling), but we are having a great time on the boat! Just looked through your thread and am really impressed...

The boat works!

Hey chrispy186, Your build is really lookin' good. How did the front trolling motor setup work out? I am thinking of doing the very same.

Hi Lowry107, Congratulations on the new boat! I have the same one and have done some modifications. Here is a link https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=19592 . The boat is very stable IMO and is still a work in progress.... I am really pleased with the way it has turned out...

Done!

Thanks Dbarba11. I believe you are referring to the 2.5" swivel bracket I purchased at Academy Sports. Here's a link https://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_13173_-1?N=581132481

Thanks for the compliments. I finished the carpet and here are a few pics. I have to say, if it weren't for all of you that post on this site, this boat would not have turned out as well as it did. Thanks to all. Next is to charge the batteries and hook up the fish finder.

I didn't get as far as I had planned, but still made progress. Here are some pics

I used the L angle simply because I thought it would be easiest to work with. I used 5/8 plywood for the decks and they are solid as a rock under my 227 pounds. Sounds like a sound plan you have for your boat. I will hopefully get the wood coated and carpeted by the end of the weekend. It's...

Leelatt, I used aluminum L angle for nearly everything and pop riveted it together. I attached to the ribs across the bottom with angle as well. Hopefully this pic explains a little better. If you click on the picture you should get a larger view of the framing.

Hello Everyone...It's hard to believe that a year has passed since i have worked on the boat. Well, this warmer weather has given me new motivation. Here are some pics of the progress. I still have to fit some of the hatches and put in the carpet. Thanks BaitCaster for the idea on the RAM...

I would really like to see the pics of your boat as I don't have a gas engine....yet. I am just waiting for the right deal. I have seen a couple of 15 hp outboards on CL and wasn't sure if it was enough hp for the mods that I am doing. Tell your wife thank you for me, too...thats very wise...

Thanks. I am pop riveting and if it seems to need welding when I am finished, I will have a friend weld it for me.

Hello All! I would like to say thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post here. I am finding out just how time consuming it can be. I have learned a great deal from this site and thought it was time to make a post of my own. So, I just bought a Tracker 1542 and have started the...
