16' Jon Boat project

[Texansfan87]

Hello I'm new to tinboats.net, I wanted to share my first boat with you guys. I got a lil over a month ago and decided that I wanted to kinda over haul the cosmetics a bit. The motor runs like a top but the boat itself was a bit of an eye sore. Reason I wanted to post it on here is cause I got a lot of useful info from this forum and wanted to help any future renovators with any advice and even learn some new things I could do to the boat. Here are a few progression pics of the restoration, I'd like to get your thoughts on it.

Thanks

Thx Ramrod got a couple more things I want to do to it, I definitely want to add some lighting up front for night fishing but not sure what lights would be good.

Where do you fish at?

I live in Kemah so I usually stick around here. Dickinson bayou, Moses Lake and in San Leon, now that my boat is done I'd like to go out to Lake Houston.

Thanks never thought the change would be so dramatic, I got a bunch of neighbors stop by and say how much better it looked.

Now I just need to think of a suitable name. I was thinking Onyx but haven't made a firm decision on it yet. Suggestions?
