[QUOTE="airshot, post: 493537, member: 1183"] Yep, my tinnie is long gone, but had lots of good times in it. Being a typical rowboat style with the flotation enclosed tank style seats, it was simple to add aluminum angle to the sides of the seats and just lay my 5 ply 5/8" plywood down into the angle aluminum. A couple of sheetmetal screws held the floor in place. The boat was deep enough that adding a piece of plywood level with the seat top made plenty of space for fuel tank on one side and battery on the other side ( both as far forward as space allowed) made the weight balance near perfect. Added some very short napped carpet to make everything soundproof. The shelves over the tank and battery made great working surfaces!! All was easy to do with alum angle ( light duty) screws and some pop rivets. I found a set of jumper cables on sale that were 12' in length for less money than just buying the wire its self. Cut and added new ends and ready to go. After the holidays are over your gonna see lots of sales on winter items, keep a look out for jumper cables!!! [/QUOTE]
