[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 97775, member: 1773"] Ok, so I traded my 1978 1432 Alumicraft to my brother for A 1976 1546 MOD-V Somthinanother. (?) It had been modded by a previouse owner. Floor deck, trolling motor mount, battery box, 3 swivel chairs. Here are some pictures: [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00230.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00231.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00232.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00233.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00234.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00239.jpg[/img] [img]https://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/jnevill325/IMG00238.jpg[/img] As you can see, it needs some work, and some more work, and maybe a littke work after that.
