[QUOTE="BernieP, post: 470916, member: 25295"] Hi guys great forum! Im redoing my late 80s 14 foot Polarcraft semiv. It has sat for about 20 years and I recently decided to get it back in action. Ive been welding up all the little holes from decking and transducers over the years. I had it almost fully decked but it was too heavy with two people in it and ended up just going with a small front deck as mainly flat place to mount a low seat pedestal. Worked out great. In the pic you can kinda see the new one. Im torn on whether to do away with the center seat live well and make it storage, then carry a cooler for fish I keep or to keep it like it is. The fitting on the bottom is a potential for leaks but I never had any problems in the past and it was pretty handy except when my buddy borrowed it and left some fish in it and I didn't find out for a week in July, wheeew that one was rough. On the other had the boat definitely needs the storage. Here is a pic of the new transom board I made out of two pieces of white oak laminated together. Just after I coated it with penetrating epoxy.
