Hi Snal. I am in process of refurbishing & rigging a 24 foot Toon to fish off of myself. I started by stripping everything off of it. Then replaced all the metal around the hand rails, new carpet, and new console. This console is fiberglass lined w/ no wood. I put the hard top back on mine, so you have to casting is a problem unless you are fishing off the front. This hard top has snaps for tarps. I have already spoken to a custom tarp business (Twin City Tarp) and plan to have the custom tarps build before winter. My Plan is to have 3 sides covered with tarps to keep wind and rain out and zippers on the fourth so we will be able to unzip the side that we want to fish off of. The person that I spoke with at Twin City told me that she would install straps to the top, so the tarps could be rolled up out of the way while fishing. I too was considering installing deck furniture but after fishing off of it like it is, I have just about decided to keep using the folding chairs instead. I have 2 swivel fishing chairs mounted on the front, depth finder and trolling motor. So far it has worked out very well. I have attached some pics.
Hold My beer and watch this sheeet!!!
