A flat plywood floor cuts down noise, and adds stability for standing up in the boat. Then, I covered it with outdoor carpet, and attatched the floor to the bench seat risers. This two-piece floor can be removed easily, by removing 8 screws. As a bonus, I made a storage area in the bow, below the floor. A small, hinged, v-shaped area that is great for keeping nightcrawlers out of the sun.
Small boats are the fisherman's best friend.
They are easy to find, cheap to buy, and provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Big, fancy, boats are great too, but they can't be used on many of Nebraska's best fishing spots. This is the ideal time of year to put the boat in the garage and improve it for next year.
