*EDIT - THIS BOAT IS NOW FOR SALE, LOCATED IN NORTHERN UTAH. PM ME IF INTERESTED*
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself by showing you all what I've been working on. Its my first time attempting something like this so I know its not perfect. But its a 15ft Smokercraft Alaskan with a 25 hp Mercury. I just finished building a deck for the front half and a small trolling motor mount with storage underneath.
Here is a video I made of the boat

And some pictures from the build
Before
Attempting to make a template
Cutting the deck
Starting on the frame
Coating everything for moisture resistance
Storage doors
Carpeting
Hinges on doors and handle straps
Starting on the trolling motor mount area
Trolling motor mounted
Getting the final once over from my co-pilot
Its not completely finished, I still want to put a pedestal seat up front and a seat for a passenger and there are a few small things I would like to do but so far I am pretty happy with it. There are definitely some things I could have done better and the trolling motor mount is going to need a little bit of improvement but at least I can fish out of it as is. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them, thanks for looking and I look forward to being a member!
