[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 349112, member: 13419"] Started making some progress on a complete overhaul of a 1994 Grumman Trophy 1542 mod-v jon my brother and I bought over the winter. When we bought it everything worked fine and was definitely functional, but we want to use it as fishing, hunting, and bow fishing boat on the shallow river in the backyard. First thing that had to go was all the wood and carpet and the blue paint job. Plans are to move the side console to the middle of the middle bench and make it a center console and aluminum decking in the front and the back. Paint color will be the parkers dead grass colored duck boat paint. Instead of carpeting we'll be using the dark gray factory seconds hydro turf in 6mm thickness with 1/4 of closed cell padding underneath to make it more comfortable. As of right now it is at the welder getting some beavertail pods welded on, an additional leg for the console, and a JB weld fix taken care of. Also going to apply gluvit to all the rivets and gator glide the bottom in mud brown. Other additions down the line: Tempress hatches Ipod hook up stereo Bilge pump LED nag lights accessory plug shotgun holders (along the side console) Bow rack (front of console) Offset pedestal mounts Here its when we first picked it up: [img]https://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y490/bigredxlt9/IMG_1983_zpsqbf4edok.jpg[/img] Merc 15 hp [img]https://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y490/bigredxlt9/IMG_2093_zpsh3ceuiax.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
