[QUOTE="FishinFitz, post: 463543, member: 24429"] There are a lot of nice build threads on the “link for boat modifications” thread if you haven’t seen it. I’ve been running a 70s 14 footer like that around Christmas Bay for the past few months, no mods. I’ve dragged it over grass to get into marsh areas. Since you are transporting in a pickup bed consider anything you add will be additional weight when loading and unloading. The center grab rails are popular, have seen them mounted to the starboard side. Consider the location and if it would be in your way not running, possibly have it fold down when not in use? A lot depends on your fishing style. If you are mostly running to a spot to wade, do you need a deck and a floor? One of the things I appreciate at the end of the day is the simplicity of hosing the hull down, Giving a visual everything has been rinsed out and no trapped saltwater.
