go with a nice piece of marine plywood for the floor
i know it's expensive, but the floor gets a lot of water drips on it and regular ply wood will start seperating
here's a good example what a good sanding and clear coat will do.

I just ordered a sheet of 1/2" marine ply from menards it was like $59. They had it wrapped in 2 sheets of foam that I used for templates.

Bumpity bump look slow around here so here we go .

Bought a 05 225 ficht motor for the Voyager has new power head .Guy I got it from said he ran it hot affter fishing in some type of water plant that got in intake and robbed top 2 cylinders of water so they overheated and didnt set off warning light as other 4 were cooling and senser is supposedly in bottum cylinder. So new warrenty power head and bye bye . He was only 29 and I remember how I was at 29 so I"m hopeing it was just him being lazy and not checking for good discharge stream from motor and thats why it burned down as he said this was second time he did this and it was the same thing both times. The mechanic told him you could cut larger hole in sceens so they dont plug but it would void warrenty I well be checking more frequently then previuos owner . Any input is welcome . Also bought some sweet seats from Veada well post pics when they get here .Best price I could find and you get to choose 3 colors for a custom seat .

Redneck = Actual planning and craftsmanship to make something work.
I really like the seats too. On a side note, My son is going to be 2 years old in about 4 months and he is already picking up the girls at the church daycare. I busted him holding hands with a girl already so if they ever meet we better keep em in check.
