[QUOTE="HRalston, post: 288134, member: 10204"] I've been following this forum for a while but now its time to build one for myself. I have really appreciated viewing everyone's work and plan on taking many ideas from others here! This boat is a 1542 Sea Ark that originally belonged to my Grandfather. It is all welded and solid as a rock- he used it for fishing and crabbing in the creeks/inlets of coastal SC. 1994 Sea Ark hull with a 2001 Johnson 15 outboard. I'm planning on doing a complete modification but I've decided that I will just paint it for now and use it the way it is for duck season and get a feel for what I really want to do with it. I know I want absolutely no carpet. I will use this boat for duck hunting and fishing and only in rivers and small lakes- we have a Pioneer Venture for larger waters. I am considering whether or not to cut all or part of the middle bench out and building a slightly elevated deck back from the bow deck with removable seats. I also want to add an aluminum floor with a nice covering. Up to this point I've gotten it stripped down and primed. I've decided to use a Rustoleum textured paint. Pictures to follow shortly. Would love to hear some ideas and/or recommendations. Looking forward to the possibilities! [/QUOTE]
