[QUOTE="Shoedawg, post: 341847, member: 13490"] Hi, This is my first post, and I found this site after doing some research about Jon Boat mods. So far I am liking what I am seeing! :-D I am a ROOKIE, brand new boat owner, so please go easy on me. I have just purchased a Modified V Jon boat with a 50HP Mercury. Here are the specs: Make/Model: A 2000 Fisher Dominator Modified-V Length: 17ft Motor: 2000 Mercury 50ECPTO (50 HP) Trailer: 2000 Trailerstar I do not know the weight limit (and could not find the sticker on the boat that tells you) I purchased the boat, trailer & motor for $900. The guy selling it used it for duck hunting and fishing. It was last used in Jan 2014, after duck season was over. His wife hates the boat and she wanted him to upgrade. Seller said he can get it into 4" on water. Here are some pictures of it: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20140124_123855 (1).jpg"]60396._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20140211_112409 (2).jpg"]60395._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20140211_112420 (1).jpg"]60397._xfImport[/ATTACH] As you can see, she needs some work. I would like to add a deck to the front, redo the back and replace the flooring. It does have a live-well. The boat is already painted with a wetlands camo (a plus), and the prop is a year old. The bilge pump was installed in 2010. Also the throttle (though working but has some issues) will need to be replaced. Any suggestions or what you guys would do with this. I would like it to be a combo hunting/fishing boat. I don't know all the terminology yet, but its widest point (measure from the top rail to rail) is about 66". Shoe [/QUOTE]
