Old John Boat to a flats boat

Has anyone tried to convert there old jon boat to a flats boat?
I have an old 16 foot duracraft and i was thinking i might take a crack at turning it into a poor mans flats machine?
The boat is in great shape and the engine is a 30 hp honda four stroke that is in great shape. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated…

Yep, look here for ideas:

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of dust with a rod in one hand and a beer in the other,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…

WOW -WHAT A RIDE!!!
