IMO the light weight of an aluminum boat is one of the reasons why I don't want a glass boat, so when I modified my 14 ft Gregor, at every step my concern was that my mods did not add too much weight.

The plywood foredeck is a 3 ply solid core birch - light compared to regular 5 ply construction plywood. No joists under the floorboards; those floorboards are made of stained 1/8" veneer underlayment plywood which is contact cemented to built up layers of construction styrofoam which in turn conforms to the interior shape of the hull. No weight adding carpet or carpet glue.

There's a Toho-Rig 14 gallon livewell inside the center seat. The door of the storage area forward of the center seat/livewell flips forward to allow someone to sit on the center seat facing the bow.

Anchor and battery for the bow mount trolling motor are in the bow storage area.

2011 Bass Tracker PT175 w/30hp 4 stroke Merc. Upgraded to 24v motorguide, electronics, recessed TM tray and wheels......
I fish some local lakes with HP restrictions, thats the reason for the 30hp. Fishes great(for a tin boat), lots of storage and runs a whooping 26 mph..

Actually if you get 26 mph out of that boat with a 30HP - that's really good! I only get 34mph and I have a 60HP

Nice rig!
