[QUOTE="switchback, post: 14480, member: 193"] Hi guys. I'm new to the forum, but have been reading alot. I did a jon conversion with a buddy of mine years ago using angle for the frame and automotive paint over the green primer. This is a boat I bought for $500. It's a 1965 14' richline with a 1986 Mercury 9.9 w/electric start. A dilly tilt trailer. I put a float in the carb and had brushes put in the starter. Now the motor runs like a dream. I want to do it like GatorTom did his in this section. Hope you don't mind me copying your look. I want to paint it, camo wrap it, and deck it from front to the back of front seat or back of middle seat, floor(s), and rear seat with flap in rear. [img] [/img] My questions are.. 1) What kind of paint 2) Will decking this boat make it to unstable 3) Do you recommend plugs or hard wiring TM, and fish finders 4) I was considering the Humminbird565 dual tranducer fishfinder but bought the Hummingbird 141c color single transducer fishfinder. Which do you recommend? I bass and crappie fish. I also plan on buying a Minnkota reconditioned 50lb thrust foot controlled tm from Cabela's. Ohhh Yeah, where do you go to get the bumper stickers.
