[QUOTE="MeanMouth, post: 124255, member: 2460"] Thanks everyone. The plans have changed a little. [b]Front[/b] We are going with a front casting deck. We are not adding a single piece of wood to this boat, so the framing and deck will be aluminum. The boat is trailered over rural country, so cleaning is necessary. A new Minn Kota Edge 40 and a Humminbird 570 will be added upfront, with the battery underneath the deck along with lifevest storage. [b]Floor[/b] We will also be putting a floor down, once again, aluminum. Underneath will be styrofoam, which will lay over the channels and inbetween the ribs so that water can still make it's way aft. [b]Seats[/b] Planning on 3 pedestal seats. 1 up on the casting deck, 1 in the middle, and the driver's seat which will probably be placed off-center, starboard side. [b]Trailer[/b] It's an old steel trailer, well built, but in need of tlc. We are planning on the ruste converter route, and maybe herculiner over the top. We'll be adding new wheels/tires, or getting the wheels powedercoated, replacing the bunks and carpet, and also adding bunk style guide-ons. I'll post pics of the HTS-2000 once we get started...lots of things going on right now with college. [/QUOTE]
