inlovewithsurfin, Yet another great build! You should do a side craigslist jon boat conversions business! You certainly know what you're doing! I know plenty of people would be interested if you showed pictures of your work. It may be a little to late in the season to get any bites now but next spring you could make a killing!

Mike

thank you Mike!!! i actually love working on the boats and have thought about offering my "services" on craigslist to build other peoples boats for them! maybe i will try it out for a bit? got to sit in my seats for the first time tonight and they are really comfortable!

got a little work done today... i have been trying to figure out what to do for a livewell in my boat cause i would like to free up room by taking out my cooler livewell... i have a storage hatch in the middle bench seat of the boat but it is not water tight. i used some silicone and sealed it up... drilled a hole in the bottom of the compartment for a removable plug (the bottom of the compartment doesnt go all the way to the bottom of my boat) and added a cheap aerator. its not finished yet... i am going to run the wires cleanly to a switch panel as well as add some waterproof blue l.e.d livewell lights for night fishing.

here is a link to a video of the livewell in action:

Nice! I've been debating wether or not to convert my bench. I think I'm going to now. I was just ginna have one that was a cooler and plugged into a 12v Plug.


I just completely thread jacked.
 
I have a "cooler livewell" and it works great but it takes up too much room in the middle of my boat.... I want the freed up floor space without the cooler.

I'm having the same prob need to free up floor space. Thinking about putting hatches on front deck and rear seat.


if i get some time this weekend i am going to completely upgrade what the previous owner did to this boat.... i plan on putting a full deck across the front two benches (like i have done on my other boats) with a hatch or two for storage in the front of the boat. i will also still have the hatch on the middle bench function but be carpeted. and i am going to build a back deck from the back bench to the transom with a hatch to gain access to the drain plug and fuel tank. i also need to run the livewell wires and mount/wire some lights for the livewell and the boat. i plan on going fishing as well this weekend so i dont know how far i will get on the boat! :)
 
TOMORROW NIGHT!!!! im so excited... i am going to re-do my boat the way i want to! out with what the previous owner did and in with my ideas! :) im hoping to get out of work at a reasonable time and get home and start right away with the construction. im hoping i will have enough daylight to be able to finish the construction part so that i can take it fishing early saturday morning! i went to lowes tonight and bought all the supplies already.

pictures will follow...
 
sorry that i didnt post any pictures last night... working on the boat didnt quite goes as planned! lol. i started working as soon as i got home from work at 4:30 and didnt stop working till 9:30 at night in the dark under the street lights! it was miserable haha... but anyways here are some pictures! not finished yet but i had to take it out fishing first thing this morning :)
