[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 197711, member: 4585"] The boat looks great and you got a heck of a deal. Only suggestions I have are to be carefull how high you put the front deck and fishing seat. A 12footer isnt all that big and you dont wanna be way up in the air on the front (where the V is) it will be kinda tippy. Second suggestion is with a smaller boat, and a smaller motor you will probably not need that much space for a fuel. Im not sure if your sketch is to scale or not but.....I would think that with a 12 footer and a 5.5hp motor a 3 gallon tank will be plenty of fuel and keep your weight down. I did not permenantly attach my floor to the boat. It will pull out easily for cleaning or replacement if needed. Mine is a flat bottom jon so the floor was easier to do than yours will be. Check out the build links page for all the V hull mods. You should be able to find one similar in size and layout to yours than you can get some ideas from. So many guys on here have serious skills when it comes to fabrication and wood working. Are you going to clean the Aluminum up and make it shiney with www.sharkhide.com or go with a paint job?
