I had one my first one in fact, 12 ft gregor, aluminum, shallow V, decked it out as well.  Live well was a 52 qt cooler, with pump I threw over the side to fill, bolted down seats, mounted trolling motror, and two deck lids, one for the 6 gal tank, and the other up front for storage.  I got a rusty trailer for $150, the boat was destined for the junk yard with a quarter size hole in the bottom.  Sent it to the welder, welded up hole, had it sand blasted and painted in John Deere Green, had the trailer painted in JD Yellow.  Called it my Deere Jon boat


That boat looks great, nice work on the decking
