Link for Boat Modifications! Please post yours!

[jules]

Got started last December during winter break. After lots of trial and error, finally getting the hang of it. Enough talk. Here is the link to photo bucket. Hope you enjoy and get some tips as I move along with this endeavor. Let me know, too, if there is a better way of doing what I'm doing.

Got the boat last year and used it like it's set up now , it worked well but am going to modify it this year for fishing in the bay and crabbing . I am looking to make it a left side drive console in the front behind casting deck take the left rod box out and find out how many boxes I can add to the front casting deck as possible . My first step which will be tomorrow is to remove wood floors as see what the bottom looks like and clean all leaves that I no are underneath , this will also let me look at all the wiring that is in the boat and run new wires the way I think they should be done. Has anybody ever done this to same style boat with pictures ? I find this some times helps with brain storming ideas here a list of what's going to be done before March / April

1. Strip floors replace with pvc plywood and cover with rubber style carpet ( not really carpet but u seen this at bass pro same stuff )

2. Strip pant. .. not sure if spraying with paint stripper and wiping off will do because of aluminum or a drill with 30 sanding tool would be better ? ( though )

3. Take out rod box on left side to give more room for console and room in boat to dip crabs . ( Doesn't seem to have any reason for integrity of boat not sure )

Well leave there then I'll post to show progress any useful tips hints or knowledge in areas is appreciated

Hey everyone, new here and just picked up my first boat. Its a 1436 I believe. Needs some work but i couldnt pass it up for $140 bucks. It has 3 benches, I want to take out the middle bench, build a front deck from the little bow platform to the bench behind the bow. Floor it, paint it, and maybe some other things. Any input on the front deck build would be appreciated!

Been checking this site out for a couple weeks now but just joined yesterday when I bought this boat. I got in a bit of a hurry to get started on the boat , so I didn't take any pictures until I already had taken off most everything the p.o. had on it. The boat came with a very gently used 5 h.p coleman 4-stroke motor, a minn kota 40 lb thrust foot controlled trolling motor and a couple anchor mates.
