Ok, I came across a 14' Ouachita boat today. Price is reasonable ($500) and the only downfall is that its basically a 3hr drive away. :( But its only paper and petroleum im buring up right?! :lol: Anyways, my concern is that I would like to deck this out if I bought it, my question is with the interior part along the sides, he says its filled with foam. Looking at it in the pic, if I put 1/2" plywood and carpet, it would be right at the top of the sides or over which I dont want because I dont want stuff accidently being kicked into the water. Can these be cut down to accomedate the casting decks? Is it just an illusion in the pic and I actually have enough room to put plywood there?? Of all the other Ouachita's I've seen on here, none had this look on the inside. :?

I'm trying to find one like that for my dad, he likes sitting down in the boat rather than up high on a deck. There is a mod on this site where a guy really went all out fixing up that same model boat. Just do a search for Ouachita a lot will come up but you should get some ideas.
 
This is the one I was thinking about. He didn't really deck it, but he sure did a great job with it.

Do either of you have the original capacity plate for your boat? I have the same boat however my plate is long gone and in Alabama I have to have one. If you do could you give me the specs on your so I can order a new one?

Thanks in advance!
