so i got this boat last year with the intensions of converting it, i did a lot of research and got this boat dirt cheap. the trailer was junk but it came with a 1978 evinrude 18hp. and i had already found another 14' boat with a foot operated trolling motor, seat mounts, anchor cranks and mint trailer for dirt cheap, so i bought both, took everything i wanted and sold the other and came out basically spending $50 total!

next i started the first build i did late in the season last year. i wanted a full deck on the entire thing. so i used 2x4s upright on the sill in the back and 2x10s on the sill up front. then i made braces and topped it all with 5/8 ply. i knew i would want to change it and make adjustments and put storage in so for the first build i went cheap and figured when its all done and im happy with it ill tare it apart and do it with pt.

well after taking it out only a couple times i knew i would be taring it apart and doing it over. it was a little too heavy and too high of a deck. so this year i tore it apart and did build number two
