[QUOTE="JTE, post: 489482, member: 31761"] Hey Everyone, I'm a new member on the forum. I have a 1982 (I think) Alumacraft V16 that I bought last year. It's a sturdy boat and in great shape overall, just needs a facelift. I'm planning on adding a mounting platform on the bow for a TM and anchor winch, as well as a casting deck. I'm lookin for advice or experience on the following: 1. Removing half of the rear bench and installing a pedestal seat. I was thinking of keeping the section where the support is riveted in, behind where the seat would be, and adding supports between that area and the middle bench, possibly hiding it in a compartment. I'm installing a subfloor with foam underneath to help make up for whatever foam is removed. 2. Is the splashguard mounted to the transom integral for the boat's stability or can it be removed? I would like to add a small rear deck if possible. 3. I'd like to mount an electronics control panel across from my seat (lights, TM, winch, bilge, etc.) does anyone have examples to share This is my first boat mod so any advice is appreciated!
