Thank you for the suggestion on the trolling motor! Yes I definitly want to be able to run everything from the stern seat. I have a foot controlled, 45 pds thrust from a parts boat I'm going to rework(hopefully) for hands free operation. I plan on putting the battery under the front seat, to help with wieght. The motor and tank that I received with the boat seems way to heavy so I'm going to use a newer 4 hp mercury I have. I'm wanting to put my seats on those sliding adjustable mounts, to move from side to side and from bench to bench. I want to keep the option of being able to row, for sneaking up on trout. The front end has a built in roller for an anchor so I think I'll be doing some sort of conduit housing and run the anchor reel to the aft as well. Thank you for the input! I'm refinishing the wooden rail and oars now, then paint, then onto the head scratching stuff.
My major questions for now is, would it be better to use teak oil on the wood or boiled linseed oil after stain? I don't like using poly because eventually it will begin to flake and it's a very hard finish..... I use natural linseed oil on all of my wood handled tools because it's softer and doesnt flake or chip and it gets like a natural patina sort of.
