No, I have not added a live well, if I did I would use the center section of the boat to install one, to take advantage of the full space, I would build one out of acrylic to the exact size of the center section. But for now I don't see a need for the live well, I don't fish tournaments and its...

I did all the rivets myself, and I used a simple $20 rivet gun (Arrow RHT300™ Twister Rivet Tool) from the local hardware store that i had already had for a few years, I am not going to lie my hands did hurt from all the rivet work and I did have a to buy a second rivet gun about 3/4 of the way...

Some more photos of a few more items my son and I added to the boat. An extra cup holder for him. A ruler for the CDFG i have been asked more then handful of times now from the local lake patrol even thought I do not have a a live well on the boat. The new seat base for him as well, its...

Some updates, I have been out with the boat a few times now and found that every thing works well, I am going to buy another fish finder for the bow as i find i spend more time up front then I do in the back nothing fancy just another 170 to mount on the trolling motor. Aslo it took me some...

To be fair its a far from stock forester, 20 psi on a VF43. Now that the boat is done I am going to swap the stock 5sp out for an STI 6sp.

Here is a nice shot from the other day I spent the day out on the water.

thanks toothpick, I try and take him every where with me hes a good kid and right now all he wants to do is just help no matter what I am doing. On a side note i had a few open hours tonight so I took the boat out for the first time since the day i bought it. With this being my first boat it...

I was able to fix the reverse lock it seams as I had lost a small spring and was able to fix it this evening. I was able to track down the revers lock lever from a local boat shop and I am going to have them check out why my electric start is not working, its kind of a funny thing i call told...

Completed electrical Hiden rear 12 volt The switch has everything except for the fish finder on because it has its own power switch. I have one open switch left, one for the (2) 12 volt, hatch lights (LED) and deck lights (LED) and nav lights and the last for the bilge pump. The power to...

I used a two part foam I did not take any pictures of the foam because you have to move a little fast during the process. I used enough two part foam to float a little over 500 lbs worth of dead weight based on the manufacturer specifications. I just noticed a problem with my motor it seams...

I completed all the electrical today and my last seat base for the center bench arrived tonight so i am going to do that when i get caught back up with every thing else. I even found time to start the motor and let it run for while I had not started it in over a year and with about three good...

cactusjack Here is the link to the two part foam that I used, I used the AeroMarine 2# Density, It took a little less then the two gallon kit to do the whole boat. I was very easy to work with. https://www.aeromarineproducts.com/boat-foam.htm

Well I went crazy this weekend and did all the carpet, now I am letting it sit so it dries. A few people came by and did not believe that it was the same boat that I bought last August. Next weekend I am hoping to do the electrical and the chairs. I would have some updated pictures but I left my...

I bought this for my 3 year old after the disney rod crapped out, its a two part rod and a reel that can be separated from the rod. Not bad for $12 https://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Fishstik-Spincast-Rod-and-Reel-Combo/product/10207013/-1576280

Over the weekend I was able to cut all the plywood and get it fitted, I have been putting a coat of sealer on in the morning and one at night this way by Friday night both sides will have three coats each, the carpet arrived yesterday via Fed-ex the delivery guy was like you order some of the...

It would be nice if you could make the rack removable but that will add to some complication. If its just for transporting the boat and the kayaks at the same time I would think that some kind of setup would be easy to attached to the trailer, but from the sounds of you want to use the boat to...

They look to be tempress all weather seats check them out https://www.tempress.com/shop#ecwid:category=442149&mode=category&offset=0&sort=normal I picked up a few for my boat, once you sit in them you quickly understand why they cost a little more, and trust me they are worth the extra coin.
