I bought this boat two years ago and it's served me well with the scrap plywood flooring I threw in it then. I finally have the money to do it right so here goes nothing.
My Set Up:
- 2009 Alumacraft MV1648 (with Center Seat)
- 2007 Suzuki DF25 V-Twin 4-Stroke (Manual Start, Manual Trim/Tilt, Tiller Steering)
- 2009 Road King Trailer
----I purchased this entire set up brand new in 2010 at Ed's Marine in Ashland, VA-----
Installation/Modification Goals:
Electrical:
- Battery - add to power all of the other electronics
- Bilge Pump
- Depth Finder/Transducer
- Navigational Lights (removable but wired)
- Regulator/Rectifier (accessory installed on outboard to charge battery)
- Stereo/Speakers (cuz we like to party)
Structural:
- Solid Floor (hopefully it will eliminate squeaking)
- Storage Area(s) created by either:
--- Removing foam from back seat and creating a new seat cover from plywood.
--- building additional storage area on port side or bow of the boat
- Replace Rivets (with stainless bolts and lock nuts)
Current State:
Here's some photo's that I took so far. Click a thumbnail to open a picture full size at photobucket. I tried to write a brief comment for each photo describing my plans. (not sure if this is the best way to post images on here. PM me if you know of an easier/better way)
Let me know what you think. I'm open to any and all comments/questions/suggestions/etc....
