Hi everybody, I'm a new member to this board but have been intrigued with all the modifications done here for the last month or so. The reason I'm posting is because I was given an old Ouachita Jon boat (no idea what year) by my gf's dad. The boat is 14' long and the bottom of the transom measures 36" (I'm not sure whether you're suppose to measure the bottom of the transom or the top of the transom??). I'm afraid though that its in need of a lot of work...
I'm wanting to mount this baby to the transom - just picked it up yesterday for $450.
But, the transom looks like this... (15" deep)
Here's a photo of the whole rig.
I don't even know where to begin...I know the transom needs some work but don't know the best way to do it.
Also, I was thinking about adding a deck to the front and small deck to the back and cutting out the middle bench for more room. What are you all's thoughts? Especially regarding the transom..
