    58 alumacraft 14 ft.

    There are what appears to be a socket for something to attach to. They are about 1/2in high and about 2in long. They are riveted along each side inside the hull. They stick out about 3/4 in. Up near the top . There are 6 or maybe 8 of them spaced apart along each side. Any clue what they could be ?

    I'm going to build a deck in this boat. Will I need to paint or put water sealer on the decking plywood. Before I carpet it ? And I will need to get carpet adheavsive to glue carpet down is that right ?

    No cliff so far. Looking forward to first launch this week if all goes as planned . Probably going to take the 6 hp johnson and the 9.5 sportwin and give them both a spin around the lake . The Johnson is a long shaft and the 9.5 is a short shaft. Will be interesting .

    I'm in Southern California. It took a few trips to DMV and I contacted alumacraft with a number stamped in a brace for the transom. They responded back and told me it was built in 1956. The dmv didn't implement the HIN until 1974 I believe. So thats why my boat had no numbers on it . That and...

    Well now I have managed to get registration on my boat. Next step register the trailer. Then get into building the boat. I have replaced wood in transom but want to run this thing on the lake before I put money into it.

    What is best for a raised deck in a 14 ft fishing boat?

    Very good idea. I never thought about that. Thank you . I replaced the wood in the transom for now. Thats all I'm doing until I get it registered. Then take it out and run it some. Then see about puting money into interior and bigger motor. That's for your suggestion .

    Dimond plate would be to reflective sun back in your face. Unless its painted . I'm not trying to spend alot of money . But I want it to be sturdy and last . Maybe marine plywood ? Is there something like corrugated plastic ? Light weight and strong ?

    I got a response back from alumacraft today. They said my boat is a 1956 but didn't give a location for a HIN . I'm not giving up on getting it on the lake yet.
