Count me in, thanks!

Thanks for all the great comments guys. As for it being a budget built, I look at it that way as I really didn't spend a lot of money for what I have. Between the free boat and trailer, free fishfinder, free seat, and almost all of the aluminum free, I did pretty well. I live in Ca, bay area...

This was the most recent addition, the trolling motor. It can be kind of tough mounting a front mount on these aluminum boats, so I built a whole new front platform. I got the front fishfinder( eagle fishmark 500c) for free. All I needed was a transducer, score for sure. Ill let the pics do the...

I then buttoned everything up and took her out on the first bass fishing trip with the boat. The front seat was the closest I could find to the free rear. The rear seat is actually a tracker seat, and even with the model number, I couldn't find the exact seat. After this trip, it was pretty...

So like I said before, I was having a hell of a time trying to find a good place to put my fishfinder. I wanted it somewhere that I wouldn't break it by stepping on it and still be able to access it while driving and trolling. I was also trying to think of somewhere to run the wiring and put...

Once I put a little lipstick on the pig by painting the inside, I wanted to pollish the turd a little more and add some decking and upholstery. I got the rear seat for free from one of the trucks drivers at work, which helped save some money. Since the bow was just a crappy bench seat and I...

So once I took her out, I became motivated to revamp this thing into the fishing machine that I wanted. The blue and green was not my first choice in color, and since the outside of the boat was recently painted, I decided to just paint the inside. I used 2 coats gloss smoke grey rustoleum. I...

Well I've lurked around here for a while without posting much, so I decided it was time to share my build that is never ending. So here's how I fell into this project. The owner of the company that I work for knew that I had been into fishing for a while now and had an extra boat laying around...

I have been building a 14' Klamath and just bought everything for a front mount trolling motor set up. I am planning on putting the tm battery in my center seat. I was looking through the John and v mods and found a thread where a guy bought a pretty slick hatch that you cut the top of the seat...
