Your boat..

I have been thinking of adding a platform to the front of my 14'. Most of what we fish here in the NW is small boat water so show your rig...:)
Here are a few sights I looked up to get ideas.

    Redid a mirrorcraft I bought a few years back.  Absolutly love it now.  Heres the before and after pics.  Unfortunatly I don't have any pics of it with all the goodies I put on it.  Check out tinboats.net for LOADS of info.

    A few photos of my old 14 footer, I sold her last weekend. It may help with ideas for your boat

    Thanks TBL.  I'm pretty proud of it.  Really can't remember the exact #'s, but I would say around 600 - 650 in the boat and trailer.  More of my time than anything else

    Crappie, I didnt even think those photos were of the same boat. Very nice job on that.
     
    Here is my "new" rig that replaced the 14 footer in my first post. I got this boat at a great price so I couldnt pass it up. It came with the 70hp I hung the 9.9 on it and ran controls to the console. A Terrova bowmount with I Pilot, lowrance Elite 5 up front and one at the console, and a Lowrance HDS 7 gen 2 with HD side imaging also at the console. I had her out once so far since I got it, I really like the upgrade over my 14', and I really loved my 14'.

    Thanks anzomcik.  Like the new ride you got.  Bet that thing clips along pretty good with the 70hp pushing it.

    She does pretty good, when that 70 decides to go to the big lake in the sky this boat will get a 115 (max hp motor) and then it will make the local lakes very small.
     
    Again very nice job on the boat.

    Mikastorm, thanks for starting this thread! And thanks for posting the pics and info guys! I have a bare bones 16 ' 1980 Lowe that I bought last May that I'd like to fix up. It gets me out on the water now, but some of the rivets and seams weep so there is always water on the floor.
    I don't want to get into anything too detailed, but I'd like to maybe take out the bench seats, seal the floor real good, put in a flat plywood floor with swivel pedestal seats. And then maybe a storage locker running down the port side.
    Crappie_Slayer that rebuild you did looks beautiful! That looks alot like what I had in mind, although it's gonna be a year or so before I can save up the $ to do it. I think this year I'm gonna try to just get the seams and rivets sealed up and be happy with that.

    Here is my boat. I finally finished my 14ft rebuild. It's not perfect, but It's definitely an upgrade. 
      

     
    Here's the start LOL

    I like the staggered down riggers. Great idea for a small boat.

    I have had a lot of success on the riggers, it was the best $100 I spent on the boat.
