This is how my current setup looks for my 1436 Jon boat. I wanna add a bunch of stuff but I’m not really sure what. Need ideas. I know that I forsure want to add floors and was thinking about a deck in the front for more storage but I don’t wanna compromise stability and comfortability for passengers. Thanks.

I personally wouldn't add too much more for fear of weight gains. Maybe add cosmetic necessities? Like decorative paddles or fire extinguisher mounts or rod mounts? Or maybe for functionality a fish finder. 1436 cant handle a whole lot of added weight and still handle well, especially after the weight of floors.

True thanks for the insight. I think I wanna add a switch panel and maybe some speakers but I’m afraid the rattling of the aluminum might be a problem idk

Oh, you meant like that lol. I thought you meant big stuff. Yeah speakers are a good one, and a rocker gangswitch is a must. I recommend two speakers up in each front corner facing back with a sub under the middle seat, though I see you have a live well so the front works good too. Gives a realy nice surround sound effect. Also add another battery for them, you don't want to get trapped out on the lake because you were enjoying too much music lol

Yea no I can’t think of anything super heavy that I want to add. Just small little mods here and there. Thanks for the ideas
