I just picked up an '08 1648 jon boat with side console and I want to mod the boat but I'd like some opinions on whether to put full decks in this boat or simply put a floor in it. My initial plan was to spray rhino lining in the bottom for traction and sound proofing, but then when I got in it, I remembered how much I hate the ribs that run across the bottom.
This boat will be used for duck hunting first and fishing second. Because I am using it for duck hunting and I carry so much stuff I really don't want to have decks and have all my stuff "on top" of the boat instead of "in" the boat. The other small issue here is the pup that will be hunting for the first time this year that should be "in" the boat instead of "on" it.
I'm leaning toward just installing floors and putting pedestal seats on the floor of the boat for fishing, but I really do like the idea of the decks for fishing.
Any thoughts???
