Bought this 14' valco off a guy on craigslist for $300, it was a little rough when I got it, but the potential was endless. It is 14' 6" from stern to bow, and it has a 65" beam. I put about another $150 and a week of work into it and I think it came out looking pretty good. The boat does not...

This was a boat that a guy brought to me for a conversion, its the first time ive ever seen a boat like this one. We used dark blue carpet this time and i think it turned out great! 12' Olympian tri hull

Converted another 12' columbian. This time it was for someone else, not for my own personal use. I used a color of carpet that ive never used before, it was kind of a beige color, turned out pretty nice. Check it out.

Another cool little fiberglass boat that I "converted" into a profit. 11' Olympian NOTE: All wood was treated and coated in a sealant before carpeting.

Here's a boat that i picked up off craigslist for $300. Decided to give it a facelift and flip it for a profit. Here are the pics of the build. Between the last photo and the next one, all of the wood was treated and coated in a sealant. And then carpeted.

Been doing a lot of conversions to small boat lately, mostly 10-12 footers...I really like the old fiberglass Tri Hull Columbian boats, they're nice and wide and generally pretty inexpensive...compared to a wide aluminum jon. Recently I had a vision...I had a great idea for an awesome rod...

This is the conversion i finished this week (Completed 05-30-2011). It is a 13.5' Gregor aluminum v hull. This is how she started out: Started off building the bench tops first and adding some storage compartment hatches:

Just finished this conversion last week (Completed 05-22-2011). It is a 15 foot Meyer boat, really nice boat, wide and sturdy. This is how she started off. Front deck framing: Rear deck framing: Center floor framing (Sorry this is the best pic i have of it.):

So after having very little luck finding a good aluminum boat for my project, i decided to go with the next best thing i could find and that was this 12' fiberglass columbian. Its much heavier than an aluminum jon boat, but it is VERY stable in the water, much more stable than the 1236 jon i...

so ive been thinking about ways to install the hinges for the lids of the storage compartments on my boat, im not so sure that puting them in between is going to work for me. I may have to install them on the outside, but im thinking this might not looks so appealing. I was wondering if anybody...

Ok, so im new here and i didnt know where else to post this, so im posting it here. By request, im posting some fishing pics...most of these fish were caught on my 10' livingston. Mostly smallmouth, a couple largies in there, a rock bass or two, maybe some crappie, and i think a steelhead...

Sorry I dont have any pics from the build, just the finished project. This was my first conversion project. These livingstons are awesome boats. They are incredibly stable and make awesome bass fishing boats...however, they are very heavy, about 200lbs completely dry. here's the boat:

So my first conversion was not a aluminum, actually to be honest with u, ive never converted an aluminum boat ever. The boat that i decided to convert first was a 10' Fiberglass Livingston. When i first got it it was pretty rough, but but it floated. I got it for $150! Im sure most of u know...

Whats up guys! This is my first post on TB! Ive been visiting this site for a while getting ideas and stuff for my bass boat project, but i didnt sign up until today because my boat isnt an aluminum boat, its a 12' fiberglass tri-hull Olympian. But i finally said screw it and signed up anyway. I...
