Hello All, Great Site!

I just purchased a New Lowe 1236 jon and I am going to mod it. Mainly just gonna floor it, and a small front deck on bow to mount my MK Foot Control TM. gonna cover the tank seats with ply to mount my kingpin seat bases, and of course carpet it all. I will post pics when finished.

Thanks for joining! Seems like you know exactly what you want to do. Looking forward to the pictures and future big fish pictures! :beer:
 
picked up my brand new magictilt trailer this evening, and got the boat sitting on it.. =D> plan on gettin started after a good nights sleep. Will have some pics to post saturday night.
 
got a little work done. plans changed a little so another run to lowes was needed. cut the wood for the bow and glued+screwed it together. then mounted in some aluminum flatbar for bow lip reinforcement to hold the wood down im using 1/4'' SS bolts,washers,poly nuts. using alum angle to mount 2x2 cross beams. this will give me some dry storage under the bow on top of the so called front seat. here is a few pics while i wait for it to cool down out there.

more to come this evening. trip to walmart needed for my template materials for the flooring.
 
pics of bow deck/tm mount template, and deck before final 1/8 trim. also decided to return to lowes 1 more time for a sheet of 3/4 styrofoam to put under the flooring.

The flap on template is where I was thinking of putting a door for my small dry storage area

this still needs a small trim after the glue has dried. the cross braces are cut and just laying on it to show where they will be under the deck for support, they will be attached to the angle that i am riveting to the sides under the tube.
 
got a bit more done today =D> heres some pics, hope you all enjoy. and give me some feedback of what you all think I came up with.

Are you looking for hand held navigation light?


Or something you can mount?
 
Well I got a little more done. But have had some good rains that slowed progress. Got all carpet cut, and 2 of the 5 pieces covered. Also got the TM base mounted. Should have it finished and possibly float tested by sat eve. [-o<
