Default Want to redo my aluminum boat

I currently have a 1993 16' alumaweld, and I'd like to update it by extending the front deck, taking out the carpet to put vinyl, and to reupholster the seats. The only people I know is Sterling, and I know they have a great reputation and their price probably shows that. Does anyone know of another company that could do what I'm looking for?

I was trying to keep the cost around $2k, this will help resell and may make me keep it a little longer. I've already replaced the motor in 2014, and replaced the trolling motor last year.

He is in the old redmond marine shop....where yall went run the boat when yall bought it. He does great work. It may be cheaper to just replace the seats instead of changing the upholstery. Also check out hydro turf. Camo designs in carencro installs it. http://camodesigns.com/hydroturf/

Don't think he does but not positive....read my other post I edited it. The hydro turf is comfortable on the feet and does not get hot.

I know it's not in your neighborhood but Southside Welding has done some outstanding deck work for me before. Extended front deck, aluminum floor, extended back deck.

Just make sure your not better off selling your boat and buying something you need, the improvements were nice but not cheap.

ok.

yeah I'm debating between the two. I don't like buying used though, and honestly this boat is the perfect size for where I fish. If I do buy I'm going with the g3 sportsman 17. Talk about sweet and the price is right

Acadiana prop did some fab work for me on a aluminum boat and the work was excellent. You will not be disappointed.
