Been browsing around here for a while. Thought I would share some pictures of my boat, it's a 1972 Ouachita 1448. Here's when I first got it.

Got it home, straightened out the dented side, cleaned it up. Did some research on how I wanted to do the floors and the forward hatch. Ended up using pink foam in between the ribs, with 1/16 aluminum diamond plate on top. The hatch/deck is 1/8 aluminum sheet riveted down onto a piano hinge. The paint is parkers duck boat paint in hunter green. Here's how she sits "finished". Thinking about putting a tray in the rear for the gas tank to sit on, and possibly a shelf with some cup holders on a side. Let me know know you think.
