[QUOTE="tripwirenh, post: 260604, member: 1228"] Speechless...I believe I may try and duplicate this once I purchase my buddies S-14 for $1000. Old trailer and 80's 20hp Johnson. Only mod is a carpeted front deck. Seems to be a good deal. Couple quick questions. What size aluminum angle was used for framing? (1-1/2 x 1/8)? Also, where did you get the aluminum? Looking to save $$ What fasteners were used (aluminum rivets)? I looked at your diagram of the front deck...how was the hatch lip created? Meaning, if you step in the middle of the hatch, what is keeping you from falling into your deck? Based on the diagram, it seems like a 1x2 glued? I'd appreciate the help. This looks like an economical way to have a great boat. My buddy will be jealous when I finish. Currently I have a 14' sears with mods similar to your first mod. It is just too small compared to the Lund. The Lund will be deeper and have a wider beam. [/QUOTE]
