George,
I am posting this for you so if you have any questions I would be happy to help. Also want to say none of this would of been done without Todd's expertise, so a big thanks to Todd.. You can see from the pictures (Some in the beginning are a little out of order, and one day when i get time will put a page up with more detail and a write up) anyway I bought the boat for $500 with trailer (1980 Sears Gamefisher with 2003 EzLoader trailer) and came looking like the first pic but without the seats..I probably invested about another $1000 into is when all said and done. Right now this is a electric only boat but may put a 9.9 or something on it when time is right. Todd and I probably have over 100 hrs into it. We basically wired, plumbed then re-fiber glassed the boat inside and out..then i marine-tex all the holes, cracks, oar holes, etc... then we primed it, sanded it, painted it. After all that we then framed inside of boat to make it super strong with no flex. Then we made a "deck template" out of cardboard. We then decked it with 3/4" plywood and then finished it up with hatches...and fuse box and switches... all the hardware on the boat is Stainless Steel, thanks to my work...well they don't know but thanks anyway...lol..
Also the cooler was originally there for a livewell, i mean beer cooler. [&]].. but is being replaced with my tacklebox...
Oh and the trailer had some major changes too with longer bunk board and slicks added...There are some more things going to be done like a onlboard charger and stuff but its a great little boat that had served me very well...
So hopefully you will enjoy pics...

Nice job on the boat!!
Maybe, when (if) you grow up, you can learn to fish on rivers, like real men do.

Nice job Sebastian and Todd! Very impressive, however, I'm certainly not planning on anything as involved as you guys did. That's amazing what you guys were able to do . I would just like a casting deck area, the only thing is I'm really nervous about drilling into the sides of my boat... I did , when I put my transducer in, but this...Oh baby!
A Saturday project, eh...
Sometimes you've got to "jiggle' it, and sometimes you've got to give it one big
