A few months ago, I purchased my first bass boat. 1982 Ranger 350V..... I took on an overhaul project to get it where I am happy with it. I custom built a full casting deck, added new seats, recarpeted from the seats forward. Did some rewiring to lights and Threw on a wrap because the gel was shot. Motor runs strong and aside from hooking up electronics and a couple small things, its water ready! Heres a few pics to see the WIP along the way. BEFORE     AFTER      Thanks for looking!! Quick update! I worked on it through the nasty weather, determined to be able to go out on Sunday for a little while. The final touches are done! Trolling tray, electronics are hooked up and some mood lighting!

I fished out of one of those 300 series Rangers for a dozen years. Really good fishing platform especially for getting up in the bushes/brush. You did a good job. Just curious, did you use treated wood?
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools
