Re: My project as of late... (pic heavy) update

not sure why, either ive had to much beer or not enough? but the seat mounts have been a pain in my arse! as of right now im about 90-95% DONE! all ive got left is waxing and thinkin about scotch guarding the carpet. it started raining so I didnt pull it out of the basement. hopefully itll be purdy monday and ill get some good pics.

Re: My project as of late... (pic heavy) update 4/2/15

the peds where in it when i bought it. only had to buy 1 seat mount and after lookin around walmart had them cheapest. but i got it and the seats from bass pro during their fishin event for $45 a pop. wish i had gotten 4 now instead of the butt seats

that is a ton work. It will is worth it and for sure makes using the boat so much more enjoyable.

was the floor solid? mine was exactly the same boat and the floor near the corner of the console was very weak.

Re: My project as of late... (pic heavy) update 4/2/15

feels solid to me. when you say exactly the same do you mean exactly as in this one was yours?
