Im in the process of doing a mod to this boat. I will post progress pics when i start on it in a few weeks. Any tips and advice is more than welcome since this is my first mod. I have gotten alot of advice so far looking at post but was wondering how much space do you leave when your building your storage compartments for carpet when doing the doors just wondering the gap so they close nice but not to tight or to loose if that makes sense? i will be tearing out the middle seats putting in a floor and storage on the sides and front and back but keeping it as low as possible. for the floor i have sheets of aluminium that is .83 thick that should work i hope as long as the bracing is spaced close and plywood for the storage areas. thanks again for the great site before this i thought i was stuck with just a regular boat!
