Post subject:  Making your hull the way you want..

Ok well ive searched for almost 2 hours now, and I havent got the answers I want so I decided to start a thread over it..

Im looking at getting a 16ft southfork slick, with a mud buddy sd on the back (Killer price), and its got one middle bench seat, which I hate.. my question is.. Can you cut the bench seat out with a grinder without losing to much support for the middle?

Also, I want a small gun box on one side of the boat, and a half box seat, or just a regular seat period so that I can drive and sit down on those long runs, How do I add a seat, and gun box to the boat? Would I just weld the gun box in..?

Thanks bud, and yeea, im practically stealing the motor and getting a free boat. The guy was at work when I was asking questions so I didint get to get into all that, what i do know is, it's vertically braced, not sure on how heavy, but I've done a good bit of research on the boat and from what people say it's a real well made boat, so im sure the bracing is pretty heavy duty. Not sure of the seat is part of the bracing or not? It does have a floor in it, and is a slick bottom, semi v.

Just a thought, but how far from Londale, AR are ya. Ya might just be close enough to bring it to Gaylon & get him to fix it up how ya want it.

Sometimes, when these boats are made, boxes and decks are used for structural strength. Brasso... Text me some pictures of it. I can look and give you my opinion on the transformation. A back driving pod would be fairly easy to add. The idea of taking out the middle bench is the only concern. Though, chances are, you will be OK.

I did the same thing to a 1985 polar kraft 14' riveted. I havent had any trouble with mine the last 8 years. I hunt reelfoot lake a lot and it is a stumpfield.
