I just purchased a 1965 15ft fiberglass terry bass boat with a 18hp johnson on it. It needs a little work here in there. I was looking at the front part of the boat and was wanting to do put a deck on it. Any of you guys have any ideas also I was wondering what kind of trolling motor to put on it seeing that its fiberglass and pretty light how much thrust should I go for. I also need to no if there is a way to respray the fiberglass on the boat seeing that there are some loose ends that need to be sewed up. Here it is guys hope you like it, it was only 400 bucks.

Here is the pic of the front

Congratulations on the new boat. Sound like a real steal for 400 dollars. You'll have a good time customizing it. I'm thinking that a 46-52 lb thrust trolling motor would probably work good with your boat. The boat really looks like it's going to have alot of possibiblities as far as decks and storage goes.

What does the beam measure on this boat?  It's rather narrow.  I hope you're not as clumsy as me, because if I was standing on a deck in this boat, a 15 - 20 mph gust of wind would throw me in the water.  I wouldn't recommend a deck since it is so narrow.  

That's an old cathedral hull bass boat. My first looked something like that except with stick steering.  You're not going to be able to put much of a deck on that thing since the beam is so narrow. You'll experience tipping problems with the center of gravity moved so high up.  

Could I make something that stretches back from the front bench and be ok?

Sometimes what you think you want isn't always what you really want. I'd suggest taking the boat out a couple times and get a feel for it before jumping into building decks. Regardless of what others say, only you will be able to determine if it's too tippy for a front deck. Also you will get a feel for where you want your gear located and how you want your storage laid out.
