Hi guys, i live in st augustine fl and am proud to fish out of a tin boat. My boat is set up for inshore and flats fishing. It has a front deck with multiple hatches and a built in livewell. Here are some pictures of the conversion. Bought the boat and trailer for $200 but it sure was ugly.
I fished out of it using a trolling motor once and actually caught a nice red fish.
i started sanding and painting it and it really started looking better. once i did that i started buliding the deck and false floor.
i carpeted the deck and installed the cooler livewell under the second round hatch. after that i bought a '96 johnson 8 hp for $400 and moved the trolling motor to the front..
one last shot before sunset
i love the boat, i was going to get a gheenoe but i am happy with the decision i made. It makes a great flats boat for someone on a budget and likes fishing out of a small boat.
let me know what you think
