Hi all im a fairly new guy here... I have become addicted to this forum I have recently done a few simple (crude) Mods to my 12ft mirrocraft. I live in Erie and use the boat for duck hunting all winter so i had to make it easy to clean and most parts had to be removable.... I also use it for crappie and perch all spring so i needed to make room for me and my dad to be able to function in the boat. Most everything that i used to mod the boat are things that i already had ( Being a broke recent college grad) the marine carpet, wood and other odds and ends are all stuff laying around our garage. Anyway i have lots more to do as far as painting and tidying up the boat but ill have to wait to paint Erie PA winters are not so nice. the carpet needs cleaned due to a couple great days of fishing! as well as cleaning the bottom of the boat. Im a little hesitant to remove any of the seats or remove the foam in one of the seats to make more storage, any input would be great. I dont want to put a deck on it not necessary for what i do but i thought removing the foam in one of the seats would be a good place for storage. Any advice or input would be much appreciated! anyway Here are some pics....
