Hello from Northern VA. I am new to this forum and from what I have read in the last couple of days there is a great bit of information on this site for what I am looking to do to this skiff.
I bought it about a month ago with the trailer less an engine. I am currently looking for a late model 25 Mercury with the shift in the tiller handle. I plan on my daughter and son learning the basics of boating on this boat in a couple of years.
I have seen a nice build of a floor on this site for this boat and I might do my floor the same way.
Any advise is greatly appreciated before I actually start any work on this project. The only thing that I HAVE to do to get it sea worthy at this time is to resecure the middle and rear seat in place on the sides of the boat, the adhesive has come undone and this is making the boat very flimsy when I get inside of it while it is on the trailer and I have not had a chance to get it wet yet either.
Thanks and here are some pix
