[QUOTE="edrow, post: 339220, member: 10640"] I thought I would try to get some pictures up here of my latest project. This boat had random holes drilled here & there in the ribs & seats when I got it. I could tell it hadn't been used much and was in really nice shape. It came with an Edge 55lb foot controlled TM, a 24 gal. aluminum portable livewell, 2 seats and 5 seat posts. I got it on the cheap and have had a good time working on it. This is the first dedicated fishing boat I've had so I haven't done a whole lot to it yet. It didn't have a trolling motor mount or a floor in it, so those were the first issues I took care of. I also decked the rear between the transom & rear seat. Added nav, anchor lights & 12v power sockets to run bilge pump if necessary & fill my cooler livewell. I also added an offset bow seat base to give me a couple more inches up front. I put down 1/4" rubber mats cut to fit over floor & both decks. I got it from Rural King, they sell it by the foot. Easy to pull out & hose down, which is important because I spill about 2 jars of crappie nibbles every time out & mash them all over the place. I put a seat base in the middle of the boat for my 5 yr old son who often goes fishing with me. I like him to be down there until he gets the swimming thing down a little better. I had big plans of documenting this thing every step of the way with pics like some of the fantastic jobs I've seen on this site. I found my time being spent working on it every chance I had and forgetting to take pictures along the way. [/QUOTE]
