[QUOTE="njtrouttracker, post: 404416, member: 18281"] So I haven't really taken many pictures showing the full layout but here's what I have right now. The boat is set up with a 6 hp Johnson outboard that I'll be upgrading. I use it on a lake that has a 9.9 limit but I also want to go out on the Delaware River so I'll also want to have a 25+ hp for that. It appears that these boats had a console at one time but when I bought mine that had been stripped and it was converted to a tiller steer. It has a basic carpeted wood deck with storage at the bow and and a bench seat with storage. It was stripped of all its electronics when I got it so I installed a switch panel and a battery, wired the lights, installed a new stern light (modified from Walmart to fit in the existing mount) USB/12v charger, fish finder, trolling motor and bought some new seats. The boat came with seat mounts already configured in the deck. Not sure of the new layout but I'll be reconfiguring the deck with new storage, installing vinyl, and replacing the rotted transom. It's not much to look at right now but we had a blast on it over the summer camping and fishing. I can't wait to fix it up.
