Ringo Steele said:Well I'll chime in and say hello! Your boat looks to be very similar in design to mu Ouachita 15.5' semi-vee. I too am thinking about a front deck to get some dry storage and will watch the progress you make in your build. I have completed the interior painting of mine, and am about one third of the way through stripping the hull exterior for repainting. Best of luck with your build.
p.s. ... Looks like you've got a couple of good fishing partners there, too!
Ictalurus said:Nice looking ride. How big is your boat (length, bottom and beam width)? I'm in the same situation as you concerning the seat removal, my current rig (Landau) had both the middle and rear benches removed by the PO, I do like the pod set up though. I have seen no twist in hull, but plan on taking it easy with it and not jumping any wakes! For your situation, if you are planning on a large front deck, anchoring it to the side supports on the first seat (not the small one up front) from the bow should hold it nice and tight.
