Hey guys I am new to the group here my names Cj. I recently picked up a Coleman crawdad with a bunch of extras for 600 bucks. Came with new minn Kota 40 endurance, deep cycle bat. Life vests ect. I also purchased a almost new looking evinrude ligtwin 4hp this past weekend. I have 2 questions to see if you guys can give me some ideas or show me previous builds. Has anyone built front and rear deck on these and been long lasting? Just looking to remove plastic and put carpeted wood over the existing aluminum and put aluminum angle over the new wood. Also does anyone believe me skidding my boat into the water down the ramp "I only do it for about 8 to 10 feet" will wear the plastic on the bottom fast? If it does is there any kind of protector I can use on the bottom of the hull? Usually when I go out its with my lady and she has a hard time carrying the boat with the motor half way into the water from the truck as well as back into the truck. At least until I can get a deal on a trailer. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys!
