I didnt come home empty tonight!
To all those that encouraged the 16' I am So happy I went with the 16' seems like it has lots of room, a wide 48" floor. just needs some cleaning. No paint job so no stripping paint. But i do want to paint it. I was worried the old raggedy tires would blow on my 1 hour 20 min drive but they held up, getting ready to hit walmart to see if i can snag some new. It just barely fits in the garage so i can work on it at home. But my dad has a barn on some land outside of town that will be it home eventually.
He said there was some minor leaks like after fishing for a day a small amount of water would be in the floor. I'll run some test tomorrow. I want to do this right and get it fixed up so no issues at all.
Now for the fun, planning and deciding what i am going to do! My front deck will be huge! well compared to what i was fishing out of in my two man. haha but i will have plenty o space!
A boat this size I am tempted to put a console and steering wheel... but i also dont want to over complicate my project and concentrate on decking, painting, storage, maybe a live well (in case of jackpots) and then fishing!
Again thank you to everyone who helped with info on my dozen posts about different boats, and questions.
