Rebuilding memories and making new ones (1986 GAME FISHER)

[DJBombar]

So did some work on the boat over the weekend. I was able to carpet and install the front bench seat. I also replaced the inner transom board with the outer one to come shortly. I think I may have tightened the two top bolts a little much cause the bottom bolts began seeping after replacement. I also installed a small cutting board on the rear seat to not only keep it a little cleaner (when using crawlers with the kiddos) but possibly for mounting a fish finder. Heres some updated photos of the boat.

Cutting board idea is a great one. Boat is looking good and starting to be ready to go.

loooking good. Looks like you might be mounting your sonar transponder on a clamp on bracet.

First of all thanks for the kind words guys....

So that boat has been giving me back aches for as long as I can remember. Now that she is getting a face lift I would love to add a couple seats to it. My original idea is to keep the middle as is (in case I add a cooler/livewell later) and add a seat in the back for me and one up front to be used with the casting deck.

Since my boat is stored at camp, I would like to have something that I could easily remove and place in my camp when I leave and just toss on when I get there. I also am looking for suggestions regarding mounting brackets and or a support base.

Any thoughts?

Thanks ahead of time

Nice boat, nice work, nice progress! ditto on the cutting board, may have to be a copy-cat...

Yeah the water is so low this year........doesnt seem to be affecting the fishing though at all. I have had a great season. Even entered a white pearch caught by my son in the Vermont Master Angler program.They send the kids a certificate.....he is so excited!!!!!! Little does he know that I have it already and framed it for him for his birthday!!!!!! (AWESOME PROGRAM BTW)
