Another view from the front

Final view from behind. To attach the carpetted deck I used LBH's technique of cutting an "X" in the carpet and pulling it back to insert the screw and then used a water resitant adhesive to place the carpet back down over the screw....I cant even tell where I put the screws. Thanks LBH for that tip on your post!!!

Thanks all for reading and looking at the pics. Its been a total labour of love and now its getting down to 3 weeks for Walley and Pike season, so you know its gonna get out on the lake soon.

All in all it cost me about $200 in materials. If you are thinking of doing a mod like this, READ as many posts on here as you can, there are a lot of people in here that have done wicked jobs, and their experiences helped me to figure out how to do mine.

Thanks again for lookin!

Finally found some information about Aluminum Boats and Canoes Inc.

1954 The dream is born. Aluminum proves to be a better material to craft boats and Princecraft is founded in Princeville, Quebec, Canada. The original name of the manufacturing company is called Aluminum Boats and Canoes.

1973 Sensing a growing market for boats, Aluminum Company of Canada (ALCAN) purchases Aluminum Boats and Canoes. ALCAN merges the acquisition with another of their aluminum boat manufacturers called Springbok.

Great work on the boat! It looks great, I'm getting ready to add some compartments to my deck and this forum helps a lot as you say. Again awesome job and let us know how it fishes!

Thanks alarcher,

As skunked_again said, I know I'll enjoy it more knowing I did the work to make er what I wanted!

Good luck on your boat and post pics, always fun to see what others are doing!
