I picked up this boat this past June... I did just a bit of initial cleanup. I wanted to use it a bit before I comitted to doing a major project. I did pull out the center bench and put a floor in the boat.
I tried a Honda 9.9 4 stroke on this but it seems heavy and more power than I need based on the places I generally fish...
I rebuilt the transom with solid white oak.
I think I will end up painting the inside of the hull, something to keep reflective sun down. The benches are too low for my knees...
so I will need to put a seat on a 4 to 6 inch pedestal. I think I will deck forward of the front bench at the level of the bench and build in a locker for a trolling motor battery.
I'm looking for any words of wisdom people might have...
Thanks,
Chris
