Just wanted to share my build with the many people who helped me along the way with their pics and info.
Boat = Alumacraft 1470 flat bottom
Engine = 1980's 25hp Johnson (electric start)
What Done = added front and rear decks with storage, seat pedestals, bow mount trolling motor, lights, and stereo
Time took from start to finish = 5 weekends
$ spent = aprox $1800
I made the frame out of aluminum angle and square tube. Riveted supports to boat ribs and tig welded the rest. Carpet was from Home Depot, great price and easy to install.
