Pimp My Skiff
With all the threads about gutting and redoing the tin boats....Lets have a contest. I would not win, but I am refubishing my 16 foot aluminum skiff...Maybe we set a date and have an event around the viewing...Like a car show. No power necessary, just best remake of a hunk of tin boat....Only requirement is that if does not sink.

Bruce i like that boat. You should build it. I would leave the center bench out if possible for more room to move about. Stepping over the bench gets to be a pain, but maybe you need it for the structure to be sound.

I have mirrorcraft 14'. First thing, a must IMO, would be a floor. Easy to do and makes it way more comfortable to stand up and fish. I'd also eliminate the middle seat if I had one, unless you think it would compromise the integrity of the hull. Took mine out 15 years ago and no problems. A little TLC and you will be good to go. If you want to see the main support that holds the floor stop by as mine is out right now. I might even have an extra one hanging around. Paul

i need a to get a cc for my skiff , and i have a brand new 9.9 johnson in my kitchen closet, boat and motor new
I want to up to a 25 so i can fish where i need to be.
so anyway i think the cc is like 300 bucks but was wonderin if i payed 1800 bucks for a 9.9 would it trade in for a 25?
the min i get a job there will be either a bigger boat or a motor in my yard.
the hole is gonna be a pain in the ass this june with a smaller motor
