I've decided to pimp my 1957 feathercraft jon boat.
it's 15-1/2 feet long , 38" wide 2-1/2 seats , the half seat is at the transom and there is just enough room to put one cheek on it if your going in a circle.
I'm thinking of extending the back seat , putting the fuel tank under the extension, storage for some lures also , maybe a cup holder, and a spot to store the anchor and rope.
The bow to the first seat , adding a fishing deck with storage for a cooler, the battery , bow anchor and rope, and life vests . Maybe , just maybe a take down platform seat. Oh yea, cup holder there also , maybe a small storage area for bait and hand tools.
I need to build a protective long rod rod holder box along one of the inside, I broke a rod last year getting the boat docked and don't want that to happen again. A smaller rod rack below that.
Fish finder, light controls on a hinged plate in the second seat , that way I can keep it locked up , Lure and bait storage in the bottom of that part also .
You can never have enough lures , LOL !
Then it's figuring a spot out for the net , oars and rod holders.
