The bench seat on mine looks like it was built pretty easily. My sun deck is 42" deep and 62" wide. There is prly 12" in front of the motor. Plenty of room in there to work on the motor if i need to. Plus the bench seat has storage under it also. I'll try to take some more pics of mine. I'm prly going to redo it this winter anyway.

Here is a link to a thread i started.

I got slightly motivated last week and redid the interior. It is nothing fancy but hey atleast it is solid and clean. Total I have about $1,600 in it. I installed a new battery, Sony CD player & 4 6x9 speakers. I cleaned the carb and changed all the fluids. The boat fires right up and the engine purrs. I am amazed how well it runs for sitting so long. Next year it will need a new impeller installed and a new rack/pinion steering system. I should be able to have those done for under $200 out the door and maybe a couple hours time. I am gonna need to give it a good powerwash & buff. I will be tinting the windows 5% and probably call it good. I am very happy with the way it turned out for the amount of time and money. I should have $1,800 in it at most and be water ready. All drives, hull etc are in extremely good shape with all things considered. The boat is far from perfect but for $1,800 out the door it is hard to beat.

very nice job
you will have lots of fun with that boat, one or two batteries? because you now have a great weekender boat with the fridge and stove and a place to sleep.

Just one battery in it. Its a large starting/deep cycle. I have a smaller starting battery that I will probably hook up next year. I keep it on a charger as a spare. The fridge thingy is actually a ice box. Next year I may pull it out and install another back to back. As for now I had to get it off the street and could only do so much. Nice boat all things considered.

No cabin pics... It was getting ready to rain and pretty dark out. I had to get it off the street and in storage. The cabin isnt to bad. I took the coshins to the car was and hosed them down. It is all fiberglass inside minus the coshins. It will be a while till I get cabin pics up due to it being in storage.
