[QUOTE="ehadden, post: 37943, member: 623"] I changed the topic of this thread from "Newbie...thanks for ideas...need help... Pictures of what I am starting with are attached... Yes, these pictures actually include plants...this boat has set outdoors at a farm for the last two years, but I got it for a reat price...FREE. This is a 1984 Lund Pro Pike 16', with a Force (Mercury) 40 HP steering controlled outboard (runs well), rotten floor, and the electrical is completely shot. I want to build it into a fishing boat, but keep it a little friendly for wife and small children to rise with. Boat is currently rated for 5 ppl, so I imagine that I can do some work (and potentially add weight) and still manage 3 ppl. Currently has 2 pedastal seats (bow and mid), one swivel seat in stern (mounted to rivented box behind console). Thinking a deck in the front and rear would work well, but rear had boxes riveted in (and I have never done metalworking). Boat leans to starboard...I think because console weighs it down, but have to keep console to keep the motor (and I would really like to save that expense). Dry storage, livewell, bilge pump are definitely necessities. Any help/ideas work well for me...comfortable with wood; unfamiliar with metalworking. Thanks in advance for any help, ideas, or comments... [/QUOTE]
