I recently bought a 10' Jon Boat with an Endura 30 12v trolling motor.
It's a 2004 boat, with no upgrades at all. I want to put sometime and
elbow grease into this boat and upgrade it both so I can fully enjoy
it, and in addition so I can sell it for a good price when I eventually
decide to get a bigger boat.

I will be using this boat mostly to launch from the tidal creek in my
backyard, head a mile down the creek to the intracoastal waterway and
fish for whatever is biting that day. I'm a beer enthusiast and I'd
like to find a way to make more storage available, use the boat at
night, and do any other interesting upgrades that won't be incredibly
expensive.

What upgrades do you recommend?

I've got a 12' that I use for small pond/lake fishing around here.
First thing I did was put fishing seats in it. I attached the base to
the metal seats. Next, I glued a strip of carpet to each side of each
seat, about 6" wide. This keeps pliers, lures, etc from sliding all
over the boat.
