I just bought this girl off Craigslist for $250.00. I added a front deck and a rear storage area 3 compartments total. This is my first boat. Boat didnt come with a trailer soooo I refitted my 4x6 utility trailer for the time being. lol I have a fish finder I still got to put on. Iput head lights on the front and interior LED lighting.

:WELCOME:

You could always change up that trailer to make it work for the boat.(Make it a flat bed and extend the tounge out so alot of the boat could be on it. And add skids to the trailer.

your decks look great! i love the storage in the bench seats. do you have any pictures of the process of cutting holes in the benches and taking out all the foam and how you build the storage lids? thats probably next on my list for modifications on my boat. check out my build thread and let me know what you think!

 

[fishingfireman]

Cutting out holes inthebench seats were rather easy. I used a pneumatic metal cutting shear to cut the hole. Then I got a regular manual wood cutting saw and cut out the foam,dividing it up into squares then used a crow bar to remove the foam. Fairly easy. Unfourntly I dont have any picstures.

With a outboard on the transom you really need bunks to carry the weight of the boat or you could damage the hull while towing.

What are bunks?

 

[inlovewithsurfin]

bunks are the two boards that the boat sits on while trailering... usually carpeted to help it slide on/off and not scratch.

have you gotten out and tested the boat? i want to know how she runs/handles with that Merc on the back? what size outboard is it?
