i am hopefully about to pick the same boat up for 200 off craigslist. its missing the back two seats but cant wait to get started if the guy sells to me. make two new seats and go on about building decks

.

Looking awesome!!! similar to what I am building, out of curiosity, have you been on the front deck yet?, how stable is it?

I actually sold the boat this past summer while out of work Banshee. but yes i did spend time on the front deck and being a big guy (6'1 260lbs) I was very cautious at first especially when it was windy or other boats wake were knocking me around but i got used to it quickly and found it quite comfortable. though a bigger boat would always be better

The only thing i would have changed about my front deck is to flushmount the trolling motor pedal/controls. because standing with one leg hiked up on the pedal will throw you off balance

What an incredible mod! =D> You have inspired me to do this to an old Sea King v-hull that has been neglected and handed down to me.

I have a couple questions:

1) if the front decking is two pieces of plywood (one large piece that has the hole for the hatch, and one small piece towards the bow), how were you able to wrap them with carpet to appear as one continious piece?

2) when you carpet the aluminum seats, how to you hold the carpet in place underneath if you can't staple it like wood?

Thanks in advance for the response/advice.
