Here is my 16' flat bottom. I finished putting the carpet in and mounting the front seat. I was going to use a removable pedestal on the front deck, but I had this one left over from my last boat, so I figured I would use this one for a while. I bought this boat, trailer and motor for $500.00. Thought I got a pretty good deal. The motor is a 1978 Johnson 35 hp, model # 35EL78R, and really pushes this boat through the water. The lower unit case needs to be replaced. There is a weld on it that was leaking oil. I used some all powerful JB weld and it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore, but I would feel better if it was replaced. If anybody has a lower unit case for this motor or knows were I can get a used one, please let me know.
I didn't get to fancy on this boat, I'm going to add two more seats and a fish finder, but thats about it. Maybe some lights.
I may also put carpet and plywood on the sides, can't decide yet. Wanted to do alot more to this boat, but I also needed to get it on the water, summers slip'n by and I need to fish.
Also, I thought the paint job would be something different, it should stand out in a crowd.
