[QUOTE="JackLithgoe, post: 437422, member: 22514"] YJ, Good looking rig. I've got a similar boat. Here in Louisiana they're called bateau's. Mine is a 1976 1542 Fisher Marine Water Strider. Had a 55 Evinrude and was set up like a crappie boat of the day. 2 Seats on aluminum pyramid shaped mounts in the floor, centerline, one forward one back and a steering console on the right side. I am just starting the conversion to bass boat. I noticed in one picture that the original front deck and the casting deck that you added are at slightly different angles, due to the rake, or upturn at the front of the hull. When you are fishing from the front deck, is the deck level with the water? When I fish on my buddies boat I feel like I'm fishing "uphill". Did your conversion turn out the way you planned? I'll go back and look at all your pic's. Do you have any recommendations for my build? Tight Lines, Jack [/QUOTE]
