New Member here and about to be a new boat owner. I would like to add a carpeted deck with multiple storage options, and repaint the boat. My "handiness" with projects like this is probably as low as you guys could imagine. Im 19 and in college so the budget is somewhat tight. Im looking to get as much info and pointers as I can get. The boat I will be buying is a 16ft Aluminum lone star boat. The owner started to make aluminum framing for a deck and such but never finished it. Also, the framing doesn't cover the last two feet of the boat, which I would want the whole boat to be covered by decking. The framing itself was installed by rivets so removing the existing framing would be a project itself. Ill include pictures of the boat in its current condition and all the help I could get will be much appreciated.. Thanks!
