[QUOTE="Alvarez1112, post: 463899, member: 2947"] Time to update this old thread! I've been using the boat as it was for the last couple of years with too many major changes. Aside from recovering the leaning post cushion and going to a 36 volt trolling motor the boat remained the same. Last year I decided to rig the boat up for bowfishing and bullynetting and got to work on building some lights. Here's a picture of how it looked afterward [ATTACH type="full" alt="20181007_143557.jpg"]101067._xfImport[/ATTACH] The outboard started giving me reasons to question it's intentions so I began to look for another replacement, which has once again lead to a rebuild. I put together a 3-cylinder 90 h.p. "Frankenmerc" as we like to call it. Took parts from three different motors to build one. Then I decided it would be a good idea to completely strip the interior for non-skid [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190320_182639.jpg"]101068._xfImport[/ATTACH] But why stop there? I've always wanted a tower boat so why not build one now? So I grabbed some aluminum pipe and started to build a tower. Never having built anything quite like this before I've learned quite a few things as I go along but here's where I'm at now [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190209_131542.jpg"]101069._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190321_085652.jpg"]101070._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190408_180859.jpg"]101071._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190412_185200.jpg"]101072._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190412_185145.jpg"]101073._xfImport[/ATTACH] I'll update ad I go, but I'm hoping to have it back on the water in the next few weeks [/QUOTE]
