Hey All,

Bought my first boat! A used G3 V143 Outfitter with a 15hp Yahama 4-stroke tiller.

It is pretty much good to go, but certainly looking for any advice on mods.

My most pressing mod is to build a deck up front that is a bit higher so that:
1) I can move the trolling motor battery up front and store it under the platform (both my trolling and starter motor are in the back of the boat now)
2) I can stand higher
3) I have some more dry storage

I am thinking of going to a welder to put on an aluminum deck, and put a hinge so it will open up for storage for things like life jackets. Then I would put some SeaDek (5mm?) on it, and move the trolling battery up front.

Thoughts?

Doing a PhD on snook out of UF. Getting used to the bass fishing for now, and spending a bit of time at Shell Mount and hope to hit St Aug area. But my research is down in Charlotte Harbor which is where I am much more used to fishing
