Much thanks to Peter for posting this thread and the thread on the boats discussion board about the walleye boat renovation. I'm currently trying to transform a 14' john boat into a substitute bass boat complete with pedestal seats, trolling motor with hotfoot, some decking and carpet. Awww, yeah!

Now, I may need to rethink my use of treated plywood (coated in polyurethane, of course). If Peter had posted this a week later, it would have been too late for me to tweek my design.
