redoing my boat. need input

**2formulas** · 07-05-2011, 01:18 PM

thanks for all the ideas so far everyone i should have made a post before i started so i had time to look at that tinboats site more

got all my welding done

heres the framing for the front deck tackle on the left then rods in the middle and storage for whatever on the right seat mounts will be in all three boxes in front of the doors

and the flip forward seat base with storage under it

went and got some plastic this morning for the compartments but i think im about to run and price metal vs wood for the deck and floor and do that first since im trying to be on the water thurs-fri and can finish my compartments later

the back deck wasnt that bad so i think im going to just throw that back on and do it in the winter so i can take my time and do what i want with it

should also have my new humminbird 798 si today or tomorrow and going to need someone to show me how to use it

went with plywood for now, probably going to switch to aluminum this winter when i redo the back half of the boat.

got one sheet cut up the other one marked out ready to cut and the plastic is laid out ready to cut. going to try and get it knocked out tomorrow so i can fish on thursday.

Looks Awesome. That front deck will make a huge difference.

This is from when I re-did my little jon. You are doing much more involved construction in yours, but there is some AWESOME advice and ideas in this thread.

Your's looks super so far!!

Looks great. Only advice I have is make sure that your drivers seat sits plenty high enough to see all the stumps and debris.
