Well thanks sir! You'll have a good time doing it. Its nice seeing what you can do with a boat. Make sure and take pictures before, during, and after. The added weight actually made it more stable. It doesn't tip as fast as it did when it was much lighter.

Well had the boat out a ton lately. The treated wood hasn't caused any problems! Pretty pumped about that. We ended up getting a bass tracker for fishing so this is strictly a bowfishing boat now.

Hey I remember when mine used to look like that! haha Gotta love those little light weight jon boats

You know thats a good question! haha I believe they are just a common carp but then again I really have no idea. What I do know is that we have a ton of them! Trinity's right, the middle one is a bowfin, also known as a dogfish. I would imagine you could eat them but I wouldn't recommend it...

I couldn't tell you exactly but I think I remember it being somewhere are 3ft. We took it out on the chippewa river a few times last fall before the season ended. Heres a couple pics from the christening:

Everything is fastened to the seats. The posts just rest on the floor and I used some silicone around each of them once they were all in place.

Well hopefully the 5 coats of water sealant will take care of that problem. When I take it out of storage I'll check it out and post results.

It's getting red/white removable bass seats. Already have them picked out just haven't had time to get started with all the ice fishing 8)

The plywood is the only treated board. I let it dry out completely and then sealed it with a water sealant. It is also wrapped in carpet so there is no way the chemicals used can come in contact with the aluminum. All the support boards were also sealed with the same sealant.

I have no clue! haha I know that it is definitely an older boat...

And here is where I have stopped for the winter... Before/After Pic: Added a bow mount trolling motor. Had to make a little modification so that it sat high enough to clear front edge of the bow. This spring I plan on installing: seats stereo fishfinder cup holders *Will update once...

Added some latches to the storage compartments...

Got some marine carpet online. My fingers were pretty sore after doing the entire floor.... Added a 12volt plug in the front and the rear.
