[QUOTE="JOHNSON44, post: 167771, member: 4194"] I wonder if anyone else has ever had to completely change plans in the middle of a rebuild? I had the great fortune to have a friend visit and take a look at my boat with the front deck extension mostly framed in, plywood decking cut, varnished and ready to go in. I mentioned that I was build ing a console next. Turns out he had a friend who took a console out of his 18' Tracker to convert to a mud motor and another friend wanted it and put it in his barn. This was several years ago. Long story short, the guy gave me the console (built in livewell), steering wheel and cable, free. So, I no longer need the front deck extension to put my livewell in. I took all the framing out, Built a cooler stand and am in process of a battery box. Saved a lot of floor room and I think it looks better. Pictures next time. [/QUOTE]
