was wondering if there are any threads with pictures on battery box mounting. in my 12 ft me the battery anchor and trolling motor put me about four to five inches off the water level trying to go front mount to distribute weight better. just looking for ideas as to what works good for you
 
Looks like you did what I did.... I love fishing from my Kayak... I prefer it actually. However my kids want to go all the time too...so I either don't go or had to have a way to take them with me. I did pick up a couple cheap Kayaks for the older ones but the boat keeps them where I can take care of them...plus you can get to places a bit faster than the Kayak can...

All and all I love my boat. Ijust need to put a fish in it now. :)
 
hes a great kid. what you cant see is it was in the mid 50s with drizzle/fog and 15-20 mph wind and no complaints happy all day. Although he did good out fishing me 18 to 14.
 
That's awesome! Can't wait to get my son out there but hes a bit young yet, only 2 and a half...lol Still looking forward to getting him in the boat to cruise the river.
 
ran wires today and attached all connectors. attached battery box to front bench. doesnt look good now but at least the weight is out of the back. will post pics hopfully tommorrow. planning on when i get the time to build a small deck/ storage area up front thats level with the top of boat. will be a bit though kid three in 5 days
 
new wiring pics. front deck to hide the box is probably not going to happen. my wife gave me the ok to see about getting a allumicraft 1448 and motor if i can get a cheap payment since i now have two kids to take out with me.

i like what you have going on here! and love the pic of the big bass! it looks like we both have very similar boats. i would recommend putting decks/platform in the boat. i think you will be surprised how well the boat can handle the evenly displaced weight and you will love the added comfort/style/function of it!

what make is your boat? That bass was the first cast on the boat. i have never fished down in virginia beach but up here bass like that are somewhat common. i will do the decks next week hopefully. great to know you have about the same boat. will keep an eye on your thread for ideas. great job on the boat.
 
started on decks today finished cutting the plywood for the deck. at a work stoppage due to work at 11pm. now time to look for carpet and figure out what supports i will need.

That's where I got mine and im very happy with it...cant go wrong. And stapled it in by the way. I added (3) pedestal bases, one for each bench. (2) seats, one can be moved up to the front bench so we spread out if need be. I need to post pics up when I get the chance. My simple boat is coming along and I like it.

Hey, nice day fishing I see....never caught a muskie. You said it smells? Those things get huge.... Did you sell Buckshot yet?
 
Joseph..sorry, I thought I was in inlovewithsurfin's thread...my bad, but he has a couple lol. :oops:

I look forward to following your build as well...for some reason I cant see your pics. Will try again later....
