Alright so this is a fun little project I picked up from one of my friends. On the title it says its a Stickney Craft which I could not find any information on the boat or company. So the 2 pictures show before and after photos of the boat so far. So far I like it but I took it out on the water and with me all the way at the back bench seat the boat is sitting low in the water. I weigh about 250 pounds and I don't plan on losing weight for the boat.
The battery is up front and the 6 gallon gas tank is next to me, btw the gas tank makes it really cramped back there. Basically, I want to move the side console up farther where the side storage box is. Problem im not sure about is if that storage box is providing support for the side of the boat and if removing it would cause the structural integrity of the starboard side to become weaker. I was planning on fiberglassing the side to the floor in that area to provide extra support if I were to move the console but I don't know if this will be ok. This boat does not have stringers and has a canoe like bottom.The floor is 1/2" fiberglassed plywood attached directly to the hull which my buddy put in to stiffen the floor. Its a bit overpowered but I do slow down almost to idle when passing other boats. Does not handle wakes very well. Don't want to crack the boat in half.
