I recently finished a complete overhaul of an Xpress 1546 I picked up cheap. Put around $600 and a lot of time in it but I think it's better than a new one. I'll attach a few pics of it just incase anyone might need some ideas. First couple are the boat when I bought it.

Pretty awesome! I user named yellanman recreated a similar boat in a similar fashion over on refugeforums.com.
How did you wire your boat up? Recently bought a new HD16DB and no way to run wires internally that I can find. Any help and ideas would be appreciated!

I ran all my wiring in the rub rail. Not sure about the new ones but mine has a rubber strip inside the rail. Remove it and there is a lot of room in there for wires.

Nice job.
As a big guy, I had several similar sized boats over the years and still can't explain how I managed to keep my butt dry when hunting and fishing out of them. After having big boats for several years, I think I would get claustrophobic in a small jon boat now.
Yes sir I understand that. I had a Nitro and it was comfortable to fish out of. It cost me a lot more money all the way around though. I didn't catch any more fish from it than I had out of jon boats over the years so I down sized.Quote:

Really looks like a nice job. now I know who to call on when I need work done on a boat:biggrin
What kind of flooring did you put down?
Those are a heavy recycled car tire rugs. I bought rugs, cut to fit, and glued them down. Really quiet and seems to be pretty durable. Cheaper than hydroturf and way better than carpet.Quote:

Nice work
Where did you get them? They look good. Do they get hot in the sun?Quote:

After doing some reading and asking around I learned about the rubber piece. Thanks for your help! In the mean time, fish on!!Quote:
