[QUOTE="murf-n-turf, post: 365426, member: 14277"] So over the weekend I went to my inlaws and my Father-in-law and I got started on the aluminum version of the console. Before I get into that I wanted to show you all his Alumacraft. I don't know the exact model or year and I don't have any before pictures but I just wanted to show off his work a bit. [ATTACH type="full" alt="image_1.jpeg"]67778._xfImport[/ATTACH] The boat was originally a simple tin boat ready for a tiller and some fishing. He fabricated the aquaduct transom and replaced the wood. He replaced all the wooden seats and added the extension on the rear seat. He fabbed the console and added the steering cable and linkage in the rear. He stripped and polished the hull as well as the 35 HP Evinrude Big Twin. I was super impressed and the boat runs great. He had a problem with porpoising so he fabbed the trim tabs and that solved the issue.
