Posted pics of the deck. Got that done last week and took the boat out this weekend. It's working well. I have several more ideas. Didn't get to utilize the trolling motor. Batteries have been sitting and I didn't want to drop $200 for batteries at this point. Hopefully that will be hooked up...

I have had it for a couple years. The only thing I wanted from a divorce.

I've been looking for this thread for a while. For some reason it just showed up on my phone. I wish I would have seen it before I started my fabricating.

Built the bracket for the Riptide and got it mounted this afternoon. Not sure how to post pics from my phone but I'm trying. I will post later tonight from the computer if I can't figure it out.

Actually I have seen this or similar to it on bleacher platforms. My buddy did his pontoon with that and it was awesome.

a little update on my mod with pics. I picked up my Minn Kota Riptide ST 80# thrust with co-pilot today. Hopefully I can get it installed tomorrow or at least start on it.

After pricing the mat and aluminum I think I will go with the mat for now. Not at the point of buying yet but I may change my mind and go with aluminum. Have to wait and see what my money is after I file my taxes! lol May just go with wood only as a temporary fix for this summer then foam and...

on second thought I think i will go with foam between the ribs and rubber mat rolled out on top of that. Aluminum is too expensive at this point for this huge floor. Has anyone ever tried the rubber mat?

Installing foam between ribs and putting aluminum sheets over that. Or at least that's what I'm pricing out right now.

My son and I tore the synthetic wood floor out today, Getting a better idea of what we need. We got a ittle further than I thought we would. The center console is loose and still all connected. I may get away without having to touch any of the wiring or steering cable. Any ideas would be...

Finally getting around to spending a little time on my rig. Going to start on a bow fishing platform first and then trick it out a little.

New Power Pack, 4 carbs rebuilt, new choke, release the blockage on the port side cooling passage and she feels like she is close to 55 mph on the water. This thing really rolls out. I am very pleased with the performance and handling. She sucked down 3 gallons in what felt like 15 minutes...

TO nasty out to run it today but I did get it back and he said she is all good. Taking it out to the lake tomorrow with a few guys from work.

First we pulled the cylinder head and it was clean as a whistle. Then we pulled the power head, cob webs and dirt daubers. It's already back together. The shop I took it to jumped right on it, turns out he was a good friend of my dad (passed away two years ago). So he went thru it and let me...

Pulled the power head, carbs rebuilt, backed into the river. She aint running hotter on the port side no more. Found a plastic plug which looks like the kind they use during painting process at factory. Didnt see it on the engine but it was the only thing laying around on the concrete and the...

Got it! I will start on this next week.

Well, she is still running hot. Large trash can full of water. It seems to take a little longer but the alarm still sounds and the port side is considerably hotter than the strbd side. The laser gun battery went out on me as I was trying to get a temp reading. Will do it again tomorrow with...

I have a '72 16' Ouachita and my drain fill goes thru the bottom of the boat. Look underneath the boat.
