[QUOTE="Vermonster, post: 268409, member: 7992"] Small update.... Here's the original badge/plate from the transom: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1066.JPG"]38956._xfImport[/ATTACH] 14 HP max (I have a 15HP Evinrude on it which is why the badge isn't on it) 3 people or 600lbs max with gear. Also got the replacement jigsaw and finally cut the front deck. I measured the length first and marked it on the frame and then measured the width every 2 inches near the bow, and then every 3 inches as I worked closer to the stern. It's 44 inches long total. I just need to spar urethane the edges and lay the carpet down. A local carpet supply company was kind enough to put an order for Henry's 263 on backorder for me and a gallon came in the other day so we're in business. Here's the deck laying on the frame: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1065.JPG"]38957._xfImport[/ATTACH] More pics to follow, but I haven't decided on a front seat mount yet. If I go with a pedestal base, I'll need to have it off center because of the center support in the frame, or I can cut that piece of the framing and frame out a square that the base can be screwed into. I'm open to suggestions of that if you've got some. I haven't rulled out just adding a block to the top of the deck and having the seat base recessed into that versus the deck. [/QUOTE]
