Mostly for support it is a 1 x 6 bolted into the front and back seat and tied into the middle seat angle brackets. I also like it for laying stuff on, plus makes a nice platform to measure the fish. You can drop rod holders through as well but my last boat it didn't work as well to me. Also its...

The higher sides are nice, but I miss my Alumacraft it was a great ride. Thanks Dman.

It's the DAM ethanol. Make sure you up grade your fuel line to ethanol grade rubber. It has the blue writing on it. If it had red or orange writing on them they wont last.

Put some more to the ole' tin boat over the week. I added the rod holder planks and anchor light plus added carpet to the back bench seat. Here's a video of me fishing in it Friday, you can get a good idea of the layout. https://youtu.be/mj0H4T3lDMs Jim

That's very kind of you to say. Any questions, if I can help give me a shout. Jim

Nice old Alumacraft Goundshock I rebuilt one similar, what I did is screwed some plywood into the middle supports, and you would want to beef up the gaping between the wood and the aluminum with some foam board. Keep the middle channel clear for water flow to the back. There is a drawnig on my...

Took Out the sea nymph today in 20 plus mph winds with gust to 40 #-o Great day to test a boat???? Ran great found a few bolts that needed to be sealed up but the main floor remained dry =D> . Managed 21 mph with the 15 hp merc. even banged two smallmouth bass on a short 20 minute troll. Would...

The upper river is turning on now Rog. I put down some gray carpet and installed the gps antenna. Just need to install the transducer and add the battery, Gas can, and tackle and its game on for fishing!!! :lol: Jim

I had some more time to work on the boat so I started in on the casting deck, and finished up the transom, mounted the motor. I'm getting ready to carpet it so I can start using it and save on my fuel cost. I love my big boat, but it loves gas. Plus I need my handlining rig done, the walleye are...

Awesome Dman. Glad it worked out for you. It's a beautiful mod. Bud, CONGRATS =D> Jim

I'm just going to use it and work on it when I can now fishing season is hear. I don't have as much time to get it done like it should be, so it will be a slow process I imagine. I will update as things happen. Thanks for the advice to =D> Its always welcomed Jim

10/4. Thanks for the tip sixgun =D>

You opened that Alumacraft like a country mile. It looks awesome. Did you get a chance to run it yet? I was curious on the stability of the boat. Jim

That's a sweet find and DEAL!! way to go. Just goes to show never hurts to ask.

Yes Mad dog it's a bit wider and it is higher. That is one reason why I wanted to sell the Alumacraft it only had 16" side all the way around. This one is 22" with a 16" transom for the short shaft motor. Yes fishingmich it does have a v shape but not to extreme. I didn't want to give up any...
