[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 172494, member: 4466"] Well, my Army buddy and I worked on it for a good 2 hours yesterday, I took a ton of photos but I haven't put them on Photobucket yet, sorry! We took a lot of accurate measurements and I have to change my post to a 14foot build!!! oops! It measured 14.5', I must have measured the outboard motor with it the first time, lol. So, here's the original floor plan concept when I started: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/BOAT/FINAL5.jpg[/img] and here's what it is looking like nearing completion: [img]https://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x123/WAREHOUSE77/FINAL_FRAME_TOP_VIEW3.jpg[/img] I have a few questions from you boat building veterans: 1) Have any of you built your own trolling motor mount? I have a simple BPS Prowler that clamps to the side, but I'd like to drill a floor unit into the front aluminum bow by my chair. I haven't researched this yet, maybe one of you can jump start my search. 2) I'm still looking for any good suggestions on comfortable fishing chairs. I'm thinking about getting crazy and modifying a really comfortable restaurant-style swivel chair that's really cozy, but I'm sure there's a great boat chair out there. I'm heading to BPS later to look. 3) Foam. How effective is adding a layer of foam under my plywood? What is the real concern for it, is this more for getting my boat to come up on plane when I'm moving or is it for stability in the water? Thanks guys! Photos coming, I swear :) -House (edited 1/6/11 with updated floorplan) [/QUOTE]
