Hey guys ive posted on here before but its been awhile. I mainly just lurk around a look and the boat mods. Anyway Right now i have a old like 64 or something 14ft semi-v with plywood decks, a cooler livewell and 1 large storage area. This boat has treated me well and i love it but i feel like its time to upgrade. First off i cant decide what boat to go with. Im fairly certain i want a 16 footer i was a dealer the other day and they had a lund 1648 T for around 1900 i believe and a yacht club trailer for 800, also i like the lowe roughnecks alot the R1655 T or R1655 SC. With the roughneck having the storage compartments built in would there be any way to carpet it? I would be powering whatever boat i get with a 9.9hp or maybe a 15hp with a 9.9 hood. Once ive got the boat ill be modding it. i would like to keep my weight down as much as possible to get as much speed out of is as i can. How expensive will aluminum be and would i be alright riveting it all down because neither i or my grandpa can weld (My grandpa helped me with my last mod so he'll probably be helping me out this time). Would i be adding much weight it i used wood bracing and thinner plywood because i used 3/4 inch ply last time without many supports and i didnt like how heavy it was. Im planning on getting the boat in about a month with mostly graduation money. then ill start a thread in the boat modification thread.
Anyway thanks in advance,
