I can see several cracks in the center of the ribs. The front deck has a hole cut in it. The two storage boxes, are the only storage in the boat. The port box has the battery, and the other has some miscellaneous equipment you would expect to carry in a boat. My plan is to remove both storage box’s and build a new forward deck, extending it back far enough to locate some storage bins. I want to mount a trolling motor and a fishing seat post on the front deck as well, for fishing. The two boxes will be removed, I won’t need them after extending the front deck, it will have plenty of storage in the front deck. Plus I may add storage under the rear seat. I want to build a new console, a center console. I will be using this boat alone most of the time, so I am building it exactly the way I want it.
