Another new guy here. Been stalking the site for quite a while. Finally got a boat to mod. It's a 16' Alumacraft. Title says MV Tex 20" is the model. Somebody Cut the transom down to 17". And they didn't do a very neat job, but at least it's centered and reinforced. I'm looking to put a new floor in it, extend and reinforce the front deck and cover the rear and put a pedestal base back there for a fishing partner. Also would like a permanent livewell. Been toying with the idea of putting a side or center console vs. a tiller. It had a 25 hp merc but I was told the crankshaft splines are no longer there!
