Hello, new to the sight and this is my first post. I like all the work everyone has done to their boats, I have got to see some things that I will implement into my project, Great Site. I have just purchased another Jon boat and this will be one that will require a lot of work. This is a 1979 Rhyan Craft 16', 60 " bottom, 84" beam, 24" deep. I will put the side console back in it that someone removed, raised front and rear decks, floor covering, storage areas, 60-70 hp outboard, Minn-Kota trolling motor, strip and paint boat, and refinish the trailer. I will have to replace the wood in the transom and weld some rivet holes up that someone made to try and patch some cracks.This boat belonged to a local commercial fisherman, it's been around the block. Will keep this update as I work on it.

Here is another boat that belonged to a different commercial fisherman that I have had for about 4 years. It is an 1994 Lowe 16', 48" bottom, 70" beam, Tunnel Hull with a 1995 Johnson short shaft 40 hp engine. I put an aluminum floor and carpet in it. It has an Eagle GPS depth finder, Minn-Kota trolling motor and 3 pedestal seat mounts.

that thing is a tank :shock:

I have a large lake (Watts Bar) that can get rough at times. I hope to make this similar to the new aluminum bassboats that are popular.
