Looks like I'll be picking up my new to me boat next week. I've only seen pictures of it as of right now. Getting it from my wife's friend. They bought it 2 or 3 years ago from one of their friends and they never used it. From a little research is looks like it's a lowe 1436. It comes with 2 motors and I haven't seen then yet. This wasn't my first choice when I was looking for a boat but the price was right.
I will be using it 95% of the time as a duck boat. My plan since goose season is less than 2 weeks away and duck season looks like it will be 2 months away, I will be going with rock solid dugout style blind. I hunt small lakes and swamps.
This is my second boat, I owned a 14 tracker v bottom boat. The only thing I did to that was install a front casting deck and lights. I plan on using this boat this season pretty much as is. I plan on putting in a plywood floor just to make it easier to move around in. I have no dog so the boat will be the blind and retriever.
When I install the floor what size plywood should I use and is regular exterior paint with grit added enough to protect the plywood for at least one season?
Next year I might remove the two benches and install a epoxy covered wood floor with two pedestal seats to make hunting out of it easier.
