[QUOTE="Heynow, post: 194937, member: 5605"] Hi all, I’m starting my very first project. I have a 1436 Alumacraft. It is the "light" version weighing around 135 lbs. It has a 55" beam, 19" sidewalls and a 15" transom. I got a decent deal on the boat at Cabela's in West Virginia -- it was on clearance for having a few scrapes and dings. The sales associate said several boats were tossed around outside when a strong storm came through the area. It didn't look too bad though, and I got it for much less than I would have gotten the 1236 I was looking at. I filled it up with water and it seems to be leak-free. I plan on installing a front deck with storage for my battery and some gear. Middle floor. And a rear hatch extending from the back seat. I’ll provide updates as I work on my boat. I look forward to talking with everybody. Thanks!
