Just signed up today! I saw your site linked on another page and believe I have found the *exact* site I am looking for!
I recently purchased a 1969 14' Aerocraft Aluminum Boat for $225 (with a trailer in great condition). One heck of a deal if ya ask me.
I'll premise this with a few things. I am a techie by trade. I am, in no way, shape, or form a mechanically inclined person. If I cannot fix it with a screw, nail, duct tape, or a ram set, I am lost. I'd like to think I can do these things, but at my age (30) and this point in my life, I am comfortable saying no when I can't do something. lol
What I am looking to do is to simple in idea (I think). I'd like to deck out the boat and put a casting platform in the front.
There is, as you can see, a cover over the bow. Is this safe to remove?
Also, is there an easy way to deck it without having to introduce additional hole into the boat's floor? I'm not comfortable doing that...
I wish there was just a 'kit' I could buy. :P
Does everyone think I'd be better off just paying someone else to do it?
