I have quite a few folks ask about my boat. So I will just share a thread on the conversion. First off, I am on a budget when fishing thats why I am great friends with everything Academy H2O offers, and this is why I fish out of this boat. Yes, I would rather fish from a 21ft bass boat, but even if I won one, I wouldnt be able to afford to take it out.

Dont get me wrong, I love this boat and I have boated several fish over 7 pounds on it and fished tournaments with it. Here she blows.























I will say I did use 2x2 wood for bracing and 1/2" plywood treated for the decking. It has a hatch with a big storage area, and a livewell that is 15 gallons that has a fill pump, and recirc pump. 3 batteries, and a 25hp electric start motor.

Nothing wrong with that boat. It gets you out and then gets you back in. Nice looking boat. Good job.
