[QUOTE="WantABigBass, post: 173849, member: 4545"] This boat was purchased new by my father. My childhood has numerous memories of my dad and brothers fishing in this boat. Now I am creating memories for my son and daughter. This site has inspired me to make some modifications to my boat. My objectives; strengthen the transom, create some additional storage, add a live well, and paint and floor the boat. It is a standard all aluminum riveted 14’ boat with 3 bench seats. My plan is to replace the middle seat with a seat/live well and create storage along the sides of the boat from the front and back seat. To strength the transom I am planning on sandwiching the aluminum transom with 2 sheets of plywood and adding an aluminum u-channel top. I may also add some additional supports. I would welcome any thoughts or links to past projects that have been successful. Phase 1 – Transom/Remove Hardware Phase 2 – Paint Underside Phase 3 – Live well/Storage. Phase 4 – Finishing/Flooring/Hardware Phase 5 – Fishing Trip [/QUOTE]
