[QUOTE="blink, post: 246397, member: 7981"] My friend's dad gave me this boat and trailer for $1 each last year. I have fished her a few times, but have realized that the layout is a bit uncomfortable, and all the wood is rotting. Here are some before photos. [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7185/6803026086_3a29a0e87b_z.jpg[/img] [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7176/6949136473_8c07b58dd0_z.jpg[/img] [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7208/6803026444_afdc4dea57_z.jpg[/img] I have removed the benches and platforms. The Transom is also coming out. [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6949313679_1137924fde_z.jpg[/img] I fish a lot of electric only lakes, so i will have 2 transom mount trolling motors on it, and i eventually want to put a bow mount foot controlled motor on the front. I want to deck the entire boat, at the height the benches are currently. I want to have storage underneath. I want to have the front seat further forward. I have an idea on how i want to frame it out. Rivet joist hangers 16" OC all the way down the boat and hang 2x6's in them, and just connect plywood to the top. Has anyone tried something similar?
