14ft Alumacraft

[ericogg]

Well I've been a member on here for a good while but I'm finally getting around to posting my mod. I got a 14ft Alumacraft T14s with 6hp suzuki motor that only had like 20 hours on it and a trailer from my boss for 500 bucks. His wife has been bugging him to get it out of the yard so he sold it to me for a pretty good price. I've been slowly modding it so I'm posting all the pictures at once that way you guys aren't waiting for years for the complete project...




I got a old ladder from the neighbor and figured this would work out perfect for the framing. I only had to use a 8 foot section for the whole boat and i still have some left over.




I need to figure out why it won't let me post the rest of the pictures. But I have done the framing and wood with the rear as well.
I also have everything carpeted and all the wiring ran and everything hooked up. I don't have any pictures of that yet. Hopefully I can get some new ones up here soon.

Nice. How did you connect the ladder to the seats? I can't see from the pic. Did you do anything with the wide gap between ladder edge and side of boat?

Thanks. I used aluminum angle and some self tappers to attatch the ladder to the boat. And yes i have some aluminum angle to help support where that gap is. I really don't even need any there I tried it out both before and after and I couldn't tell a huge difference. I just put it there for peace of mind.
