Hi all,
I have to echo what many others have said. What a great site and inspiring mods.
I've got a 1436 Alumacraft Jon that I'm getting ready to rig up. There's some great ideas from other posts that I will borrow from but I've an extra wrinkle that I wanted to mention.
I transport my boat on a rack and take it into the back country where it gets rattled a fair amount. Needless to say, weight and durability (read: simplicity) are at a premium.
I'll be adding the standard carpeted wood bench covers and mounted seats and am thinking about a small bow platform for a bow mounted TM. I am thinking removable floor panels is the way to go but may opt for rubber mats that I just roll up (opinions?).
Having to turn your boat upside down and hoist it 7.5 feet in the air does limit your options.
(FYI - I do pull a trailer, so a boat trailer is not an option)
I'll post pics as I get going but welcome comments and suggestions.
Thanks
Ben
