First off just want to say this site is great. Finally started on my boat. My plan is to add a deck to the front and the back. NEW PICS ADDED BELOW!! UPDATE!!! NEW MOD OF THIS BOAT: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25065
Here is some idea of how I want it to look like when I'm done.
Here is what I started with. All those little dots on the rivets are from the aluminum boat patch from cabelas I was using that to fix the leaks last summer.
First thing I did was replace about 50 rivets that leaked pretty bad.
Then started to remove the bench seats.
Then I started building the framing out of some aluminum angle I had laying around.
Another view.
And finally a rough template of the front of the deck.
There's still a lot I have to do though. There is a big crack in the aluminum in the back end, going to have to get that welded.
I'll update again when I make more progress.
