[QUOTE="milli, post: 413432, member: 20997"] This boat has been a lot more work than I originally thought. It was in way worse condition then what I was expecting. I'm really glad for the folks on here. With out it I am not sure If I would have gotten this far. I have learned a lot along the way. I am far from finished, however the boat will be in the lake tomorrow for a final test run before my trip. As long as everything goes smoothly on my trip and nothing else breaks I plan to redo the console and install a new trolling motor and a platform up front. I want it to be storage for the battery and extra gear. More pictures will be put up tonight of what all I get done tonight. List of things to do today: *finish carpet on floors *install bilge pump *install battery trays *wire up the batteries *get another sheet of plywood to finish up the rod locker and driver's seat I plan to have 3 seats in the boat total. Drivers seat, a seat up front, and a rear seat on the back bench. I don't plan to ever have more than 3 people in the boat at once. Next year as my family is growing I plan to buy a newer bigger boat. I would like to get an even wider boat for stability. This boat works for now and it is so far the most stable boat I have owned. My beam is 72 inches. My next boat I would like to be 84 inches or wider. Until then I will fish the heck out of this boat!!!! [/QUOTE]
