[QUOTE="WeedyMcStumps, post: 461756, member: 23948"] Hello everyone. This is my first build and I’ve been reading, planning, watching videos since July. The boat I grew up using was a trolling motor powered crawdad so this is all new to me. I finally found the boat that fit the specs I was looking for: 16’, at least 50” wide and as affordable as possible (the wife is not to keen on the idea). I ended up finding a 79’ Alumacraft Lunker 16 in decent condition. I just have 2 small leaks to rivet. I got it for almost nothing after picking up another boat, motor and trailer for $150 and selling the motor and scrapping the junk boat for some cash. I picked up an old 2 stroke 40hp Mercury to throw on the back of it. I plan on turning it into a nice little bass boat with everything I can fit in it. I’m hoping to put a livewell in the back 4 storage compartments and a center rod locker. Well here’s the boat when I brought it home in November. I’m waiting for the weather to warm up a bit so I can get started. I’ll probably ask a bunch of stupid questions but this is my first gas powered boat so please bear with me. I don’t know why it rotated my pictures. [ATTACH type="full" alt="31740C5D-E665-4D11-9EF7-6219D2BA72EB.jpeg"]100430._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
