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.  

I'll be building a casting deck with storage for my 18' Lund Alaskan as soon as the weather warms up. Pics to follow.
 
Should be set up perrrrfect once i add the front deck...
 

Nice boat! Looking at crappie- slayers setup and yours I think it will turn out great!

Fishing just got a lot more fun, now that I drink a beer for every fish I don't catch..

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    



    








 

Wow! That looks great TBL.  Nice work.

Thank you!

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