i bought this boat last summer now i have did a few upgrade like a bigger engine. but this is an older pic. but im think about taking the console out and turning it into a deck boat. and maybe building some storage boxs for more room. so what do you think or any ideas

More storage couldn't hurt, but that's a nice fishing rig. I'd be more likely to spend my time making use of the boat! I don't really see much benefit in removing the console.

well the new engine is tiller and i dont use it. and i was thinking about moving the back seat to center. something like that

That's a nice setup you've got there. How about keeping the seat where it is and putting the storage on the other side the boat.  

Nice rig. I honestly would do little to nothing to it myself. Looks like a good platform for getting some serious Bass.

Taken as it is in the photo, As long term possibly to do (cause I cannot ever leave anything alone) I would:

1. Build a portable livewell (assuming it does not have one, I did not see one)

2. Find some rod holders that mount up on the sides (my bud has one on his rig for a boat about that size)

3. Storage, I would probably make some type of small locker type contraption I would build onto the front of that console (where your box is now for misc gear, collapsable oar, spare life vest, flare, flag, etc etc)

4. internal lighting, extra electrical (extra battery). For mine I have a seperate circuit I currently run off a tractor battery for some simple lighting for myself to be able to see what I am doing when fishing at night.

5. Rod holders? I know...some folks consider them lame but I fish with kids, I cannot tell you how many times I have had to put down my line and help out one of my girls and THAT is when the fish hits mine. Also, every now than then, I will turn on the TM over a nice deep and long hole and troll all the way across.

6. question: how are your electronics on the boat? I could not tell.

I want to stress though, with that rig, I wold not be in a hurry to fix any of it. Looks relatively open, easy to fish with, cheap to operate, and easy to control

Convert the new bigger motor to a utilized the helm! :)

I would do a little but its very nice as is.

I wouldnt change much, but if you do remove the console I want it.

I just converted an old cooler to a livewell with a divider.  That may be the best upgrade that you could do

Once you remove the console, if you install some pockets in the sides and corners, you could play billiards on it.  :)  Just kidding!  I'd leave it alone.

if your new motor is a tiller then i'd definitely take the console out. Why would you want it if you don't need it to steer?

Other then that it wouldn't change much
