Well I a, ready to start my Mod!!

[dotchess]

Traded for this 14 footer. Not sure what kind it is but it is about to be modified. Been lurking around here for a couple weeks and now I am ready to start.

This will be a Jug fishing Mod. I may do a little hybrid fishing from time to time but I am creating a jug fishing boat. Just what I am into right now. Anyhow I will post videos of my process.

Any input would be great.

First an foremost I am concerned about weight as I am a big guy and I am not ure of the weight limit on this boat.

Anyhow here is the start of it. Like I said any suggestions would be great!! Never attempted such a thing before so we will see how it goes.

Here is the first video.

Nice. I'll never order letters because I can never make up my mind on what to call it... Maybe I should just call it "nameless" haha
