[QUOTE="breachless, post: 146854, member: 3308"] Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have pretty much the same boat (mine is a 1952 Alumacraft, but it looks identical to this boat) and I was wondering if you would be willing to answer a few questions: -What is that PVC looking stuff that you have running along the rails of the boat and how is it attached? I like that idea as it would cut down on noise I would think... -How much of an impact did all of that extra weight have on the boat? I have a mid-eighties 15 hp Johnson Seahorse that scoots that boat at about 30 mph in it's naked state with one person... Obviously it won't go that fast with a mod like this, but I am just curious as to how significant of an impact it really had... -how stable is it sitting up in the bow running the trolling motor? -did you do anything to compensate for the middle bench that was removed or does that bench not really offer much in terms of rigidity? -how is it sitting up higher with the deck in the back when running the tiller? -and finally, is there anything you would have done differently if you were to do it all over again?
