[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 442314, member: 22989"] Hi TB people! Last month I acquired a 14' Mirrocraft with a trailer out of a scrap yard. The trailer has a title, the boat does not but I should be able to rectify that as I did this the last time I bought a boat from a scrap yard back in 1990. I tool that one (12' Alumicraft)and modified it into a nice two person fishing boat by removing the fromt seat and moving the middle seat forwards 1' to give both people more room. I added a deck to the front to mount a trolling motor and store the battery. So, Im not really new at this but I would like some pointers regarding how much I can take out of the boat without making it structurally unstable. I was going to follow the same recepie I used before, but now Im wondering if ill I be OK removing all three seats and installing a floor with foam under it for flotation? I would then add rod lockers on the sides to give it some strength. Heres the specimen. $320.
