[QUOTE="bassnbrian, post: 250019, member: 1743"] (PICS BELOW) Well, last years mod ended up causing massive leaking as the floor (though raised) was below the water line and the screws attaching it to the hull loosened and in some places fell off...leaving several small holes on both sides :oops: So....b 1) Tore it all apart and fixed all the holes with HTS 200 brazing rods. 2) Covered remaining hull bottom interior with rustoleum leak seal. 3) Build aluminum framing for new (and much lower) floor. 4) added new flooring (added foam padding and painted with grey rustoleum plastic exterior) 5) Built side and front storage (with one rod-locker) 6) carpeted all storage tops 7) rewired/reinstalled ignition, lights, bilge pumps, fish finder. 8) interior and exterior painted (interior-grey and white with color flecks added while still tacky) I built the floor low and did not add a casting deck due to the boat being somewhat shallow anyhow and not needing a casting deck. It will be much more stable, and safer for my son when he starts fishing. I decided on no carpeting so that clean up would be much easier. Next winter a buddy of mine will add fiberglass to all interior walls ( but it will look just like it does now...only smoother) and this boat will hopefully be DONE. [/QUOTE]
