[QUOTE="Slimcowboy1978, post: 468669, member: 23997"] I have an old Valco 12’ that I’m in the process of making similar to the Summit you posted. Biggest difference in my setup will be the rod locker on starboard side instead of on port side. I fish mostly alone and find my self fishing in the back off the starboard side. I lay my spare go to rod on the starboard side ready to go with either my buzz baits or spinners depending on what the perch are hitting on. My main rod has a trusty night crawler behind a small flasher or dodger. In the bottom of my boat I have about 6 different rods ready to rig with what ever is hot that day. Right now my “livewell” is just a cooler in the front half of my boat. When I do have a passenger they typically sit on the cooler instead of in the front casting seat. I guess with all my rambling on and on I’m trying to say that I can’t wait to see how you morph these two boats into your boat. I’m watching with great anticipation. Next spring I’m going to start my rebuild on the Valco as I finish off this year fishing, dreaming, and gathering parts. [/QUOTE]
