Yeah, i'm not sure really what i am going to do. I don't really want to pull the deck up again to carpet it. Also, wiht the flexing of the aluminum i wonder how quickly it would damage the corners where it wraps under the plywood because i have a floating wood frame in there, so i would assume...

Ok. I figured it wouldn't work since nobody else has done it before. I knew it wasn't that amazing of an idea that nobody has thought about it yet. I will try to find those plugs on ebay and wire them in and wire the other side to the troller. Thank you!

Ok, here is what i am doing. I have converted a jon boat into a fishing deck boat. I have a transom troller that i converted to work off the bow, clamped on the side and spun the handle. Anyways, my battery is going to be mounted in the middle of the boat (7 feet away) with 6 awg wiring running...

Excellent, i would think it would be just as good, just without the "boat" markup.

I found this on Menards that says indoors/outdoors for carpet. It is a great price and way cheaper than usual boat carpet. This is for a fishing boat that is stored outside however it is covered. What do you guys think...

Any thoughts on this carpet for the decking. I was just going to leave it painted with porch paint, however this is a great price for indoor/outdoor carpet. The boat is stored outside however covered...

Build is still going as parts come in the mail. Wiring came to run up to the bow but i haven't done it yet. I need to wait for the switch panel that is supposed to come this weekend. The trailer cable came, front wheel thing, nose bumper etc. I put those on and took it on the water today...

Thank you for the heads up Ttexastom. This is my first rebuild. I did fill it with water and there were some leaks, i sealed them from the outside with 3m 5200 which i heard works well. I have the decking cut but not attached yet as i am waiting for the wire to arrive. Going to put the battery...

OK, i just ended up recutting them out of non treated wood.

Need to change my bunks out now..

No pressure treated wood for the deck either. I was thinking of using pressure treated plywood for the deck floor

Has anyone tried using chainlink fence top rails for the supports/frame structure for the decking. Thinking about trying it but wondered what thoughts yall had. Looks like they are lighter than 2x4's and i would think more resistant to rot...

Hey guys, doing my first rebuild. Bought this last week. Have wanted to do this since I was 18. It is a 14 footer and has a 6 horse evinrude. Got the boat, trailer, motor, anchor, oars, and rear trolling motor for 600. Any pointers would be helpful. I want a casting platform on the front.
