Rear seat base rebuilt and carpeted. Added a support brace along the seat back up high, so it does'nt flex any more, plus it gives a support for the hatch latch. The rear seat sits alot lower than the front seats at the top, but its alright because the hatch will come down to the top of the seat and fix the issue. If I recall WCMI does theres that way.:D

With the starting of my new business, my boat budget is pretty much gone, I did this whole transformation for under 300 bucks!

I got this stage of the interior transformation done! Went out on Lake Mead for a nice summer kickoff float with some great friends, and had a blast!

i like how u carried the panels all the way to the back.  ive been wondering if i should pull my tanks out and clean em up since u can see em or cover em in panels.

You could also paint them, or carpet them

yeah ive been messing with teh idea of pulling em out, carpeting under and behind em, and then just hitting em up with some sandpaper in one direction and make kind of a brushed look and then clear em.  then i think "wtf thats a lot of work for some gas tanks..."
