Well, I'm just about ready to glue on some carpet...the past two months have been hectic and I was unable to work on the boat until the past weekend. My laptop took a dump and so I don't have the photos I want to upload at my disposal. I'll have some to post soon but, until then I will update...

I just told a fellow tin boater that his was the best mod I've seen on here...then I saw yours just now...dang, the quality of the work is outstanding. Some of the methods you used tell me you've done this before? I'm glad I found this post because the bar just got raised. Thanks for your...

I just got mine from McMaster-Carr and they shipped to my residential address but, I used a company name. Ordered on Thurs. and had it the next afternoon with standard shipping! I think I got lucky on that one.

I just went through all of your photos again and I have to say, yours is the best looking mod on here. My layout will be very similar to yours and seeing your boat gives me an idea as to how mine will (hopefully) look. You kept it clean and well designed both aesthetically and with the use of...

Me too...

Try these...https://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-8-alumiweld-aluminum-welding-rods-44810.html I was responding to your question about how to repair holes...sorry.

Hi...I don't know how often you check into your posts but, I have the same boat...more or less. Mine is a 1967-ish 14' Sea King with 4 bench seats. I found your post while cruising the site for ideas and gathering information on different aspects of boat modification. I have to say that you...

Here's a sketch of the planned boat mods. I had to order more aluminum angle for enclosing the transom and (2) side storage areas. I'm thinking of covering all vertical panels with vinyl and using 1/4" plywood...i.e. front/back bench seat panels & side storage panels. For the tops/hatches I'll...

Thanks for your explanation. It's really cool looking at all the mods and restor. on here. Yours is one of the better ones I've seen. Very clean and neat...that's what I hope to do as well. I appreciate you answering my questions and hope mine looks as good as yours. Take care. Here's...

Hi...you did a really fine job on your boat. What type of hinges did you use on your hatches...and did you use flat aluminum to edge the hatches? I'm at that stage in my mod...trying to get ideas and I really like to way your turned out. Thanks.

Great job on your boat. It cleaned up very well. I'm going to be cleaning mine soon...not sure what I'm going to use yet. Most likely Toon Brite or Sharkhide aluminum cleaner...did the acetone bring out that shine after you removed the fish sticker? I bought a gallon on acetone to clean...

Hi...you did a great job with your conversion. I especially like the interior design mods and storage. What's the beam on yours? Mine is about 50" if I remember right. What's your boat rated for max. weight? My USGG plate is missing and I'd like to know what mine is. I want to do a Bimini...

Hi...thanks and as this is my first boat I'll be fishing lakes and some river fishing so, I suppose bass, cat fish, crappie, and anything else that I can get in the boat. In salt water I love Blue fish, flounder and CRABS! I won't get in salt much with this boat...but, my next one will be...

Nice job...I really liked the framing system and your attention to detail. Great mod.
