Do you still have to pay vessel registration fees? If so you can qualify for vessel insurance!
You know what, I never thought to ask for the vessel permit when I picked up the water logged donor...
I noticed you were selling some nice Fiberine tops, if I could have scored one locally in the time frame I was working in I would have. Kinda happy I didn’t though because being 6’6” tall the keel of the boat allows me to stand up! Lol. Just in front of the bunk (with my shoes off) I can stand up straight.
Hmmm, now I'm wandering now an aluminum John boat would work.
Do it!
I’m guessing a Jon boat would get you maybe 16” to 18” of added added head room. They are common in 12’ to 16’ lengths, and have a squareish bow that would work well. You’d need to figure out if the width would work for your needs. Aluminum boats tend to hold their value a bit better than old fibreglass units but if you’ve got one. One other thought I have is the seats are typically riveted in so you’d either have to cut them out leaving the factory blind rivets intact or drill out and then fill the holes...
