[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 350202, member: 13419"] Picked the boat up from the welder's today. I feel like a got a great deal $135 out the door to fix the PO jb weld fix, fabricating a leg for the side console to make it a center console, and welding the pods on. Definitely aren't the prettiest welds, downright ugly in some spots but it will work and the paint will cover it up pretty well.

I am going to have to come up with fix for that so I am not shooting twin rooster tails up in the back. I'm thinking I either put caps on the bottom with a little chain leash on them or just cutting them. The pipes will be used as a poor mans power pole shallow water anchor. Boat will mainly be used in shallow river so it will be nice not to have to use the trolling motor constantly. It looks like there will be enough space on either side of the console to move around. Especially once the grab bar is installed. [/QUOTE]
