Yep it’s a bow fishing platform. I took it off but I am going to mount the brackets so it can come on and off.

Bow fishing is a hoot! Your putting a lot of work into this boat, hopefully you got it cheap. It's looking really good and I hope your able to set it up just like you want. The hours into a project like this your not gonna want to get rid of it!
Wetwoodshunter:
Transom is installed. All new SS hardware installed on the whole boat. I also cut new support for the bow painted and mounted it all. Every bolt has 5200, nylock nuts & 2x washers with rubber gaskets attached.
This morning I started fitting the hatches in the boat.
Wetwoodshunter:
More pictures of some progress. I used a compressor and sprayed the base coat on the inside. I’m leaving the gluvit unpainted so if I need to I can thicken it up.
I also did the base coat and tune up on the 30 hp evenrude. Compression is 150 on both cylinders. New gas, started on the third pull and ran it for 30 mins.
Appa can’t even dog after his morning hunt today.
Wetwoodshunter:
Few more. I had some time to paint this morning. I have a lot more painting to go.
Wetwoodshunter:
Today I cut new floor boards and got them painted. I also added brown to the camo pattern. Next step is to mount the floorboards and move on to the other camo stencil and go over the top to tie it all in.
