Isn’t funny when it comes to time to work on a boat no friends can be found, but when time to go fishing there is not enough room for all of them lol.

Buckwild 65 Amen! Run into this problem every time I go to the lake. It’s like my boat has a silent alarm on it for when I pull it out of the building every friend can sense that I’m headed out. But like you said if I’m working on the boat or cleaning it out they are no place to be found. But when it’s time to fish they are almost lined up wanting to go. Not to mention most of the time they don’t even offer to pitch in on gas for the truck and boat. That crap ain’t cheap. Then when all the fish is caught and the fun part is over and it comes time to clean the fish they hurry up and have to leave or be somewhere by a certain time lmao. Then again when it’s fish fry time guess who is standing there with a plate ready to eat lol 😂

Now being you have the welding skills build you a nice aluminum bait tank/live well to sit in the middle of the boat to where you can load and unload it when ever you need it.

Very good design and work procedure and workmanship. Since I am used to open seas and prefer my boat to have some deadrise in its framing, I see this flat boat as somewhat a little uncomfortable in open waters and it should be restricted to inshore work. Now that it has been widened substantially well, one would have to keep an eye on the flexing at the central areas of the hull. Also I prefer boats to have a strong anti-twist construction and while the front and rear seat does provide some antitwisting components, along the hull, it is the bottom floors which would provide it once they are anchored at the diagonals. A man who knows when to use rivets rather than welding, is a good man.
@CAPTAINWILLY
