That's s good idea too. I think I am gonna try something like that or cut out the bench just enough to make it a walk through.

While I haven't gotten a lot done to the boat I figured I would get some more pics up of what I had. Its been busy around here due to the birth of my third son on March 3. But I did get the trailer painted as you've seen and today got out and put the boat on the trailer to be able to mock up...

Hey all! First post but long time lurker. I currently fish a really old V-bottom that was originally bought by my great grandfather back in the early fifties I think. It's still a great running boat but have decided to start on a new project. My goal is to have a good fishing boat for as little...
