    Has anyone used composite decking for flooring?

    That stuff is pretty dense, I would think it would be heavier, also, if you were to carpet it, there would be seams I would think where the carpet would settle. If you didnt carpet it, I think it would be pretty slick when wet and could also get pretty hot in direct sun

    Leak Question

    Thought about that, its just a small small rivet hole though I was amazed at how much water came through it

    Leak Question

    I have water tested my 12' sears v-hull. There is one leak only that I found. Its a missing rivet. Rather then going through the expense of buying solid rivets, tools and such, is there something I can just fill that rivet hole in with?

    Question on Middle Seat Removal, 12' V hull sears, 196?

    I have a 12' V-Hull Sears 1960 something, not sure, no hull number or anything on it to tell for sure. Its all rivets which all seem to be solid. I want to take the middle seat out put a very very low deck on it with a pedestal seat up near the bow a little more then mid way. Im planning on...

    Trolling Motor, Transom or Bow mount?

    Just wondering what my best set up option would be. 12' Sears Semi-V. Most likely will not have an outboard on the transom, 95% of the lakes here dont allow them so Im looking at electric only. Is the better option Bow mount or Transom Mount with no outboard. Thanks!

    12' Sears V-Hull modification Pics added

    After working way too much lately with elections, stripping of paint should commence within the next couple of days.

    Im probably going to use the pourable floatation foam in open cavitites to create a greater weight limit. I think one gallon is about 80.00 and it adds 400 to 800lbs I believe

    Oh and not carpeting on the seats, they actually feel like fiberglass even though the boat is aluminum
