[QUOTE="hardwoodcd, post: 429351, member: 19946"] Hello all! I've been looking around this site for some time now and I've started my build which is going to be fairly involved. A little background on what had happened to get me to this point. My family owns an access lot at a local (30 minute drive) lake. We can have 2 boats but the secondary boat has to be 10hp or less. I wanted a bass boat and my wife wanted a pontoon. We thought we were making a good compromise buying a 17' deep v. As it turns out neither of us were very happy! Well I inherited my old man's 16' river runner when he passed away a couple years ago and decided to build my fishing rig out of it for the lake (only 400 acre) and power it with a 9.9 merc. I wasn't in a hurry until a tree in our yard fell right on our current boat! So this is an opportunity to finish my dad's (I always called him pop!) boat and then we'll get a pontoon for our family of 4. I started this when I first got the boat and don't have those pics readily available so I'll start with pics after the demo was done. So I pulled out the three bench seats and all the foam and had just a shell with ribs when these pics start. Additionally I have never worked with metal before! I'm very proficient with wood and can do just about anything with it, hence the screen name! Get your mind out of the gutter! Can't wait to hear your opinions and suggestions! On to some pics!
