Hello,
I have recently bought a 14-36-18 Jon boat in fair condition but I want to make a few changes. I will attach pictures later tonight when I get home but for now I will explain it and what I am looking to do.
The boat came set up really well for Crappie fishing but that is not all I want to use it for. I have already gutted it and bought a new foot controlled trolling motor. Also, it had a horrible spray paint job so the last few days I have been stripping and cleaning it to get ready for a paint job.
It is funny how thing work out! I mentioned to a buddy I was going to paint the boat I just bought and he said his dad just finished up painting a truck with a double epoxy scratch resistant paint that cost $1200 a gallon. Anyways, he said he may have some left so I called his dad. I am taking it today and should have it back by Saturday night. How awesome is that!
I really need help with the deck I want to build. I bought a couple of aluminum angle but I am returning it today. It is just too expensive and if my wife found out I was spending that much.......well you catch the drift. After reading several of your articles I have decided to go with non-treated 2x2. I am going to need advice on anything you can think of. I know a lot of times I will do something and realize "man I wish I would have added this or knew I could do it this way".
I will post as many pictures as possible because I know how much seeing yours have helped me already. Thanks in advance for all the help.
