I took a Whacko 2050-16 and made it into a bass boat. I have to admit, its
was pretty well suited to it originally. I also have to say I agree. For
about what it will cost me in the long run I could have bought a fully
rigged Tracker the same size. I might have saved a little by picking up a
used outboard, but it really isn't a lot of savings, and when you factor in
my time it was a net loss. I could have made a lot of money with my time by
just installing a couple more alarm systems or spending some time selling
another digital video recording system.

Henry,
Many years ago I converted one . . . well sorta. In any event I
mentioned one hazard to keep an eye on as you do convert a few months ago.

I
installed seats incorrectly and thinking sitting up off the bench seat of
the jon boat was cool soon found myself cooling off in a local lake. Just
make sure seats are mounted flush and sturdy. And keep a close eye on the
capacity of the boat to begin with and the water line outside it. You can
add to much to a small craft and make it less than seaworthy. I did just
that. g.
