I am ready to begin building out my 16 foot Polar Kraft. Here is my starting platform.
My plan is to:
1. Extend the front deck back 1 rib.
2. Cut out center section of center bench and have a seat/storage compartment on either side.
3. Add a deck to the rear bench
4. Add a floor.
I have already picked up a Minn Kota Maxxum 55 lb 42" 12v bow mount trolling motor. I am hoping the shaft is long enough. I have time to return it still if I need longer.
My questions are:
1. Should I do the decks or the floor first?
2. Should I remove the front deck and re-frame with support for a pedestal seat? I know I need to build the very front up for the trolling motor.
3. Should I use lumber or aluminum angle for the framing?
Any and all tips and advice is welcome.
Thank you
Shane
