[QUOTE="JasonLester, post: 252204, member: 7501"] Welcome! First things first clean it up and see what you really have. Then start looking (if you haven't already) on here to get ideas what you want to do to it. Sometimes a nice simple boat is best... Those smaller Jon boats are a bit tippy anyway so I would suggest not raising the floor (other than making it flat if you want) Decking it may just get you wet. I believe most on here use 3m 5200 (i think thats theright number) to seal holes. I have not found it localy so the mounting holes I have are sealed with marine sillicon. If its a big enough hole it can be welded too. Don't use pressure treated wood on it or corrosion problems will happen. Other than that its whatever you can think of to do with it to make it the way you want it. I kept my boat simple inside and cleaned and painted it outside... I may do something inside later but for now its just what I wanted.. We look forward to seeing what you do to your boat. Jason [/QUOTE]
