The boat is in my barn up in McCall Idaho, while I am in my “winter cabin” down in Hermosa Beach. Yes, I am a wimp for not liking to live in 5 feet of snow for 5 months. So no pictures for now.
The two areas look like flotation containers and are located on each side and are about 3 feet long and maybe 10” wide. You are right in that they are about 5” down from the top edge of the boat. They are made out of 1/2 inch ply and covered with carpet. My plan was to take the top off, reinforce the area and cap it with 3/4 Marine ply with some sort of marine poly coating. I like the pedestals idea. Any suggestions on where I might get the parts?
The boat also has an old bottom line fish finder, thinking about swapping that out also. Will be a fun project that requires lots of field testing.
