I'm currently deciding whether or not to purchase a used 2005 Alumacraft ,16 foot, tiller fishing boat. The guy that previously own the boat was bigger than I am, so I need to move the seat base in order to reach the tiller handle comfortably.
Does anyone out there know of the downsides to moving a seat base? My concern is having to cut another hole in the floor for the center of the base, the holes left over on the floor from where the screws used to be (eye sore and prone to rot floor plywood?), and exposing a different shade of carpet after moving the base (i.e. the carpet under the base will not be faded like the rest of the carpet in the boat).
Can anyone comment on his/her experience or concerns on things mentioned above on moving a seat base? I want to make sure that I can remount the base and still have it solid and looking nice.
Building starting next spring so maybe next Sept? There's electric on site so I'll pull a camper out there next summer and live there. I'll shower at the gym, work or in the nearby lake 😆
There were some leaves changing when I was at the cabin a couple weeks ago. Headed back up on Monday, it'll be interesting to see how much more.
The ferns were also starting to get brown.
Livin’ the dream!
We had 45 in Little Falls when I woke up this morning. Been seeing leaves turn yellow for a couple weeks now. Just got done with a neighborhood walkabout and even some green leaves are letting loose and dropping.
Lakeshore was kind of out of my price range, less than desirable waterfront is 50k an acre minimum and nice lakeshore is 100k+ an acre. I got just under 7 acres up against state land out in the woods, building about a 1400 sq ft home and 24x36 garage. As maintenance free as possible, clover yard too. Can't be doing chores instead of pestering the walleye. I think we got frost last night
