Hey y'all.
I'm brand new to the site, but have been enjoying all the great information on here.
Here is what I'm working with:
'82 Sea Nymph sardine can that works great, doesn't leak, and is the perfect size for a solo fisherman up in the northern part of MN. Heck, I even hit some rocks at full tilt and the only thing that was damaged was the motor.
I've got a 15hp Yamaha 4-stroke, a new (old, but new) fish finder to install and a bow mount trolling motor to find and hopefully install as well.
I fish for anything that swims and need a solid layout and design to go with. I'm looking for advice as I'm in the planning stages right now and MN winter isn't letting up anytime soon. I need storage for life vests, anchor, bait bucket, and the rest can be packed in and out.
I am planning on creating a deck, but to what extent, I am unsure. I am attaching two basic (very basic) sketches of what is in my head. My main concern is removing a seat and losing lateral stability. I also want to make sure that whatever I do doesn't ruin any resale value because this is my first boat.
Here are some pics. Let me know your thoughts!
