Thanks Vermonster.

Anyone make their own tiller extension? Or is it easier to buy? Am going to need one.

On Sunday I built the frame for the front deck. Had to overcome and adapt a few imperfections to level, but I got there. Used three sections of 1/8 dp. The middle section is rivoted in place, however the port and starboard side will be hinged to the boat so you can use for storage of anchor...

Wow it has been a long time since I made a post but I am getting closer. Between work, good weather which means going fishing with my friends finding time to work on the boat is short. This weekend though I got sometime to work on it since the wind was blowing 15-20 mph.

Got some work done on the boat yesterday and today. Basically placed blue foam in bottom of boat, cut ladder to fit where it needs to go (not secured yet) and placed old rubber exercise mat between middle bench and bow over blue foam. Still have two 4 foot sections left of the ladder...

Here is a rough sketch of my idea.

Really have not thought about laying them the direction as diagrammed. My thought was to have them on their sides (15 inches high) about a 1.5 inches higher than the benches and about 3 inches below the top. Then brace between the ladders so they do not move side to side. Ideas to think...

thanks to Jasper I was able to download some pics. As you can see she is fairly plane jane. As I think about this project more my first dilema is to: Option #1 place the ladders from starboard to port or Option #2 from transom to bow. Option #1 would provide more deck support. Option #2 would...

Well, here goes nothing. I am going to be modifying my 2008 lowes 1648 mod v. As a first time modded I am a little hesitant but got to jump in to the big deep water at sometime. I will be using the following items to make the deck: 1. Closed cell foam on the bottom. 2. Aluminum to cover foam...

I have two AGM batteries from Cabelas. One solely runs my 55 lb thrust minn Kota and the other is for starting my 25 hp Johnson and 565c hummingbird fish finder. I also bought the min Kota charger to charge these as you can not charge with typical chargers. I have had these for four years now...

This weekend I was helping someone move and they had a king bed. As we removed the mattress and box springs I noticed they had an aluminum frame underneath. Just wondering if anyone has ever used a bed frame to provide support for a deck? Cost wise it is about $75, with 4 angle pieces, and 3...

thanks for all the great responses. Looking at all the information provided I will be going aluminum. Main reason since I will be duck hunting out of this it will get muddy and bloody. Therefore it is easier to wash out. Kevin

mrsimon, jigngrub, and jdholmes. Thanks for the advice. My next question is I have a 1648M Lowe. Plan to take out the back bench and middle bench. However the middle bench has a gravity flow livewell. I use this boat for fishing and duck hunting, therefore the middle bench really is...

New to site, and stumbled upon this looking at ideas to modify. I see many mods that use wood and others that use aluminum. Looking for pros and cons of both. Any information is excellent as I am sure what ever I do will be a lot of trial and error. Thanks Kevin
