New Guy thats needs some Help.

Hello Fellow Jon boaters,
I wanted to see if I could get some help and or pointers on moding my boat. I have a 1976 King fisher 12ft Jon boat. Been in the family a long time and has seen many fish  as you see some experimental mods have been done but I’m looking to fix the mistakes and make this a serious crappie / catfish hunter.. Here are my plans

1. Cut these out to have a little more room and lay plywood on the sides…

2. Cut this bench Lower with two lil storage compartments one for tackle and one to hold two small battery’s for the fish finder and nav. Lights..

3. Would like to put a small deck in the front for storage.

4. Replace the transom board. Should I replace the board all the way down to the bottom?

5. I would like to build a deck in the back to hide the gas tank


Thanks for your help Mike
