I am new hear but not new to jon boats or modifications. I just picked this up for cheap from craigslist and plan on using it for a river fishing rig on the upper Mississippi. I have a few issues I need to work out and was hoping for some feedback for all the experienced people on this site.
1) The rod storage lockers on both sides are only 7 ft and my some of my bass and catfish rods won't even come close to fitting. Any ideas on how to make one of them bigger?
2) The small storage area under the front deck seems kind of useless. Any ideas on how to utilize that?
3) I need a place for a large net and I hate vertical rod/net holders in my boat because they always seem to get in the way of casting, branches, etc....
4) I see lots of these mods and guys are cutting out tons of the floatation foam. Isn't that a safety concern? If I could do that would be able to have much for storage space to work with.
Here are some pictures the day I pulled it in the driveway.
