[QUOTE="engineman, post: 453527, member: 23750"] New member here. I've had an old 14' jon boat for several years. I think its a mid '70s Polarcraft We've fished with it several times and have taken it north to Minnesota once. It's nice fishing from a boat but it just wasn't very convenient or usable as was. It's been sitting for a few years so I decided to recondition it some. Starting point [img]https://i.imgur.com/2ECSnP2.jpg[/img] Removed original benches [img]https://i.imgur.com/X3kS5Q9.jpg[/img] Removed carpet and original foam. Was tempted to leave in and build up from there but I'm glad i didn't original foam was in pretty bad shape [img]https://i.imgur.com/Fq35GaT.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/2GSc3oC.jpg[/img] Ran wiring for Trolling motor and lights etc. Batteries will be mounted in the center of the boat [img]https://i.imgur.com/pNxl5wk.jpg[/img] Cut new foam. Used 1.5" foam board [img]https://i.imgur.com/cxGiULH.jpg[/img] New floor. 1/2" marine plywood with 3 coats of spar varnish both sides [img]https://i.imgur.com/JeV2I8V.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
