Im am very excited about starting my first project boat. I have been reading a lot and trying to digest everything that I have learned. I found a boat near my home for a decent price.
My goals of this conversion are as follows:
Nice boat that fishes easily. Adding decking and carpet for two fishing platforms and potentially a deck in the middle for lounging for my wife.
It has to go in the back of my 2007 Tacoma, i dont have a place to store a trailor so I will need to put the boat in the backyard with a cover on it. So weight is a big issue here.
Here is the boat I am looking at. It is in real good shape and has no leaks or anything. It does look like it will be real heavy, especially after adding the decking and the other stuff.
The measurements are 12' long 44" wide at widest spot and 21" tall on the sides.
Is this something I should consider? If not what should I be looking at?
