I've almost finished my mod on an old semi -V that was sold by Sears in the 60's. The rivet and seams
were leaking so I ordered the boat patch from Cabela's and it worked. All the parts used were aluminum
and SS from Home Depot and Ace. I used untreated wood and sealed it with Thompson's. I had some old
aluminum scaffold in my junk metal pile that was used for all the brackets and supports.
Now I got to figured out how to add the pictures.

This is my 1st attempt at doing any mods but after finding this site and reading a lot I attempted to do it.
I scored this boat along with a trailer and 1980's 3.3 evinrude for 400.00 from a friend
This is the boat off the trailer and ready for work...The middle bench had already been removed before I bought it...A few things not mentioned in the pics are I mounted Cannon rod holders to the boat also used Rustolium self etching primer and Rustolium camouflage olive green paint for the inside of the boat I used waterproof outdoor carpet glue (Lowes) and let it set 24hrs before securing to the boat...For the most part everything came from lowes except boat specific stuff such as lights trolling motor quick connects which came from wallmart including wire.The rivits came from harbor freight and the control board I got off ebay.If there are any questions please ask This is my first attempt at this Thanks again for a great forum Jim...I would also like to thank dixie_boyles for inspiration on when I saw his build on a Polar Kraft 1440 on this forum[/attachment]1st look 1.jpgCIMG0080.jpgCIMG0084.jpgCIMG0086.jpgCIMG0087.jpgCIMG0092.jpgCIMG0093.jpgCIMG0095.jpgCIMG0094.jpgCIMG0101.jpgCIMG0090.jpgCIMG0138.jpgCIMG0102.jpgCIMG0098.jpgCIMG0099.jpgCIMG0100.jpgCIMG0108.jpgCIMG0145.jpgCIMG0146.jpgCIMG0109.jpgCIMG0113.jpg

Hi all. I've been looking at this site for quite some time and finally decided to start my own project. I got an awesome deal on a 14 footer with a 6 hp evinrude and totally redone trailer. I also got a sweet deal on a 45 lb thrust minn kota edge trolling motor. the boat seems to structurally sound and came with a bunch of extras. what I'm planning on doing with this boat is building bow and stern platforms with a recessed walking platform between the two. I also plan to put storage on port and starboard sides between the platforms. for the trolling motor I plan on building a platform on top of the bow to mount the trolling motor.

the first thing I want to redo is the transom. the design the seller used doesn't appear to be very strong. does anyone have any suggestions or comments?

Also, the boat doesn't have the recommended max capacity sticker or a boat plug. is this uncommon?

all projects updated in the first post! :beer:

If I missed one or want to add yours, post JUST the link here and I will get to it.

If your project is a work in progress and you have not done anything to it in awhile (money, Weather, no time) Please at least update your post so the readers know you have not fallen off the planet.


Also if you come along an old post with the pictures/links missing, send me a PM so I can either try to fix it or remove it. I don't want this resource to become stale.

Thanks Guys! :beer:
