When I was young married I had a 14'er that same width. I used a roller and painted it hunter green (which helped to cover all the patchwork on the bottom). Aint no telling how many tons of catfish I caught those years that I fished out of it. It ran by a 6 hp Evinrude motor.

Have fun with it....and be careful! It doesn't take that much to fall out of it!
