Hi Folks,
As with many of the new members, I am looking to begin a mod on my boat. I purchased a 2008 15ft Smokercraft Alaskan Dlx deep V last spring. It came prefabbed with a split middle bench and a complete floor however no casting deck. I am going to deck in the bow basically covering the front bench. I have gone through many of the topics/pics and see that many of the guys are using aluminum L bracket for the framing which will keep the weight down. Where would I purchase this type of L bracket? Also, looking for some advise on adding a second battery to the boat for a bow mount trolling motor. Would you recommend placing the second battery in the bow? I am concerned about the weight of a battery, gas tank as well as myself with the addition of a second battery in the stern. Thanks for any help you can provide. I tell ya, I have surfed numerous sites on the web talking about mods but none come close to this for the information that all the members have posted......
