[QUOTE="CburtWV, post: 475840, member: 26002"] Hello all, I am considering a project to modify my son’s boat into more of a bass boat style. The boat is special to him because it was given to him by his great uncle before he passed so I really want to do it right so it can be more usable and give him many years of good service and tight lines! I’ve done some lurking on the site and I believe the boat is an early 70s Lonestar big fisherman?? I hope to be able to add front and rear decks (leaving the benches in place and building over them) and rod locker type storage on each side midship. To do this I want to remove the middle bench seat which obviously adds strength to the boat. It seems like this is doable if the framework between the front and rear decks is sufficient?? Looking for some input from everyone’s experience.
