Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and have a punt that I'm going to build just looking for a few suggestions on where to start. Wondering if I should completely remove all bench seats or not.

Cheers, Ryan.
 
Greeting,(Hey Y'all)
I'm new to the site, I like what I've seen so far. Some really great mod, and re-builds. I was hope to get some ideas and info on this little jon boat I bought real cheap.
This is what I know of It!
1977 Yazoo: 14' length, 56" beam, 38" floor bottom, 16" transom height.
I plan on putting a 9.9-15hp on it with casting deck and trolling motor, other than that I'm still up in the air. any comment or suggestion will be welcomed!

My 1969 14 foot Microcraft came with a 15 hp evinrude have since added a floor and two side compartments thinking of putting the trolling motor batteries in them also got the anchor locker up front and a compartment built around the aft seat for PFD storage. I do mostly salt water fishing in the ICW. I also purchased a 50lb trolling motor which the wife loves as it is so quiet. Even the Manatees can outrun my trolling motor but nice on a lazy day. Was thinking of getting a bimini top as I need some more sun protection. Wife has a seat umbrella up front that she reads her kindle book under while I act like I am fishing.

Found this site AFTER I found an old boat. I am new at this and I am not a carpenter by no means. I've seen some pretty hip mods here...now I'm joining the team...pictured below is what I have, I've not put the boat in the water yet for a leak check and I am reluctant to start the floor mods until I float it. I have filled it with water and nothing has leaked, so far. But I have read that this is not a true test until there is water pressure without trying to get in!

Create a project in this forum (but not in this thread). Then add your link here and I will add it to the projects. PM me if you have any questions.

Hello there guys!!! All these boats have inspireded me for my build...hope you like it!!! I am taking my 1960's Alumacraft V-hull 16ft long 4ft wide and putting a deck up front and in back and then making it flat in the back.
 
A few months ago my friend and I bought a 16 foot aluminum V-bottom and trailer. The carpet and decking were rotting, boat filled with mud, a real junker. Since it was too cold to take her out for a test run, and we didn't have a motor, restorations began. This was our first boat, an upgrade from the kayak we'd been using to bowfish the creek with. Supplies were scarce, ideas were primitive, but it was a fun stepping stone to what we have now. Soon after purchasing the boat I got a good deal on a "ran last time it was used" 12 hp 1968 Buccaneer that we tuned up to working condition.
