Impressive boat man. That paint job looks professional. Nice wide open floor plan. Good work.

If you can hack the cold the fishing can be just as good in the winter! (Except for the hibernating flathead)

Keep going back and forth between your pics on the one I've got... same exact boat but with exposed ribs. I like the covered look and more finished looking BUT I'd lose some floor space... It'd cost me a few hundred to cover the ribs.

Low - I have looked at your threat numerous times for ideas. I am currently working on my own Sea Ark and am trying to figure how hard it would be to pull the floor up to run a few more lines.
How difficult was it to remove your floor, and what kind/size rivets did you use to replace the floor. Also what kind of paint did you use for your boat. I know Parkers makes boat paint, but I would like to find a product that will cover and hold up well that doesn't necessarly require paying extra for the name.

Floor was easy breazy once I got the console out of the way and all the screws out. Lots of corroded screws to deal with tho.
Good luck on the paint...mine is a PPG. I paid for a known good name cuz I didnt want to experiment with the paint and possibly having to redo it.

Awesome boat! Id really like to see a pic from above looking at the whole boat layout. You have the boat I want. Im constantly on the search for a SeaArk Tunnel but Im not willing to pay for a new one.. LOL. I really like the Fwd Console. Just like on the factory jet boats!
You and Badbagger got super lucky finding SeaArks so cheap!

My son's expression is a good summary how I feel about the overall performance of the rig!
Needless to say, today's trip was a huge success (in both of our opinions).
