    Yeah I have one languishing in the back yard as well. I have not used mine since the watercraft licensing system came into effect. I guess I should finally get the license this year and fix up the boat. I don't like the way the seats are in mine, as they are quite flimsy. I like the walkthrough layout for the seat like some of the Lund boats have.

    Nice custom boat JboatJim.....what do you have planned for anchoring system?
    I really like the loch-style anchor pulleys for a fast letdown.

    I picked up a big canvas beach umbrella this summer for $25 at shoppers and mounted it in a pvc pipe attached to the center console of my little whaler. Looks slightly fruity, but works really well for sun and rain. Just having one post for your lid gives you way more workable room than a traditional bimini on a small boat. I can stand and cast normally from pretty much anywhere in the boat even with the umbrella up. And when I don't bring it I've got one more rod holder. Something to consider

    I have a 12' Harbor craft 7.5 Merc and 2HP electric.I still want to put seats in it just haven't picked what brand/type.I would prefer seats i can unclamp. Also rod holders and a fish finder and a better anchor setup on the Stern/Bow. I have two nice anchors just want better rope maybe 24" stainless chain between anchor and rope.Also need a small boat trailer cause its a bitch loading in the truck box.Spring project cause I have way too many projects on the go right now.
