Message: <blockquote data-quote="boohya1" data-source="post: 497601" data-attributes="member: 25806">I bought a really old 16-foot job boat that's 52in wide at the bottom. The plan is to convert it to a bass boat-style boat. Will be running a 50hp merc tiller with a panther tilt/trim and a 109lb thrust trolling motor. I sealed the bottom of the boat with Wetlander  epoxy. Planning to run the front deck at 9 feet with the rear deck at 4 feet. Will run a 12-gallon gas tank in the rear. The live well at the rear of the front deck and probably the three trolling motors right front of the live well. Plan to have two-rod lockers on each side of the front deck as well. New 1-1/2" marine plywood transom with abs between it and the boat. Will I need additional transom supports with the panther tilt/trim?Open to suggestions on layout, here is as far as I have gotten.[ATTACH]114407[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114408[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114409[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114410[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114411[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114412[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114413[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114414[/ATTACH][ATTACH]114415[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
