New Boat Mods
Well guys i got my new boat yesterday, built a front deck, added a few things, here she is, what do you think.
Im only wanting to fish smaller lakes for a while. I have fished big lakes and lots of tournaments. I have a 18momnth old boy and wanna spend as much time with him as i can not out practice fishing so this is it, small but very practical.
Tracker it gonna repaint it for me, they used the wrong touch up paint

Thanks. It took about 9 hours to do it. The hardest part was getting it all to fit. The lengths are not exact they may be 1/2" or so off. I need to change a few things on it. I will post more pictures
...you'll be amazed what you can get to and catch that the big boats are missing out on....they'll be plenty of time for you and your little buddy to "get out there"

Thanks Guys. Took it out today for its madian voyage. Caught a couple nothing great to post. The platform worked great. The seat was plenty stable. I may make a few changes after it gets repainted, I may put some storage lockers in it, I kinda like just fishing with what i have in my tackle box.
I just flew buy the seat of my pants on the building. I have roughly $300 in the decks, all brought from Lowes
