[QUOTE="BigDougA, post: 251632, member: 8066"] Well I have had this little boat for at least 24 years now and after perusing this site for a few weeks have decided to modify her and take her fishing again. I have not had her in the water since we moved off the 18 acre lake we used to live on 9 years ago. I am thinking that I will add styrofoam insulation, some plywood decking and an anti-fatigue mat type surface. Plan to add a 'raised' front deck, move the front seat aft and the rear seat fore by about 12" which will leave 32" x 32" clear floor space. On the front deck I plan to add a pedestal seat and will mount the old Motorguide 28# thrust trolling motor on the bow and run new twin trolling motors on the transom. The paint scheme will be a two tone job gray on the bottom and floor and scarlet above the water line and trim in honor of my beloved Buckeyes. Today I removed the rotting transom, sanded down the hull and taped off for painting. Here are a few pictures of my little tinny. I look forward to your comments and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
