Let me start by saying this is a great site and I appreciate all of the information you guys post here.
I got this boat from my brother in law; he had used it for duck hunting for years on Saginaw Bay before the hull split along the seam where the bow and floor meet, it sat in his yard for a few years until he decided to give it to me.
I took the boat to a friend who welded the split (sorry no before or after pics) and used it as it was for a few years, all the while talking about wanting to modify it…..well this spring I stopped talking and started doing and this is where I’m at with it.
I still have a few things to do before it’s done (Paint the exterior, hatches, seats, wiring and switches, nav lights, bilge pump, etc.) but I wanted to float it before I went too far just to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently made a submarine.
