[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 137322, member: 1776"] Worked on the front decking support for the last few days. Found out my very front support for the high deck where the trolling motor attaches had busted welds. The 3 rivets in the boat held, but the welded support to the bar going across had busted the welds. Thus the reason for the front deck moving like crazy when the troller was used. Fixed that and reinforced the other side as well. Tried to figure out how to support the front of the deck where it wouldn't move. I could go off that brace that had busted a weld, but it moved a bit due to long bends and the aluminum being thinner. After being stumped for 4 hours on Saturday, had the problem solved in 30 minutes today. Ended up taking some angle aluminum and attaching it to the boat sides to support a front brace. It doesn't move at all now. Have the front layout pretty much set now. The livewell is 29x13 inches long so it's hard to put it anywhere except the middle of the boat :) Also going to add additional hatches on the front so that you can get to it from in the boat or outside the boat. Just have to see what some others have done on the site so I get it done right. Best part of the nigh was finding a hidden label that this is a Sea Nymph Fishing Machine. Nice to know that! I'll have pictures of the progress next post. [/QUOTE]
