[QUOTE="bushead11, post: 194848, member: 5611"] Hey Guys, I landed on this site looking for instructions on how to replace a rotted transom. After surfing for about a month I got enough ideas and inspiration to finally make the changes I have been thinking about for the past 8-9 years. The issue I had was trying to make the boat usable for both ways I fish it. 1. Small, no motor farm ponds for bass (need to be able to row) 2. Larger lakes that can get rough for walleye. I would like to: 1. Replace Transom 2. Raise the floor to the bottom of the bench seats 3. Put in front and rear casting decks 4. Add storage to the middle bench 5. Add and mount Garmin 140 Fishfinder I have decided to leave the middle bench in for stability and seating for person rowing and use wood instead of angle for the framing. Simply becasue I already had most of what I needed. Below are some before pics and I will add more as I go. Any help or suggestions during my project would be great. This site has been awesome!
