Thanks for all the kind words guys.
KENB,
the engine is a 350.I put new exhaust manifolds and risers on it along with a new water pump,plugs, wires,hoses etc.
It really didn't need all that,but i figured while it was out it was a good time to do it.
I also put a new intake along with a Edelbrock 600 cfm 4bbl marine carb on it.
It had a two barrel on it,as the guy blew up the previous block.He ordered the new engine,and threw all his old stuff on it.
I wanted a bit more power,and it was really under carbed(the previous eng was a 305.
Captainkass,
All my fishing is Great Lakes salmon trolling.I keep the boat at Olcott on lake Ontario.(about 15 miles from the mouth of the Niagara river.
It's mostly downrigger and wire diver fishing.
I'll post a picture of one of the salmon at the end of this post
Strick,
If you mean the frames,we bent them out of Aluminum tubing.I used alum.handrail fittings to attach them to the floor and sides.
I was going to use pedestal mounted seats,but we need all the room we can get for tackle boxes and other bulky stuff.
These frames let us slide a lot of stuff under them.
The seats themselves,are Tempress seats,(the $100.00 dollar ones)They really aren't the right seats for this boat,but money was getting tight,so they'll do for a while.They're actually very comfy,but they look a little weird mounted this way.
Captainkass,here's a pic of a few salmon we catch on the Great Lakes.
