Looking good, Keith. If you don't point to the boo-boos no one will notice. She's gonna be a nice one.

little more progress, got the casting deck attached, still have to rivet along the sides. built a battery box with way overkill supports around it. 2 - 12 volt batteries take up alot of space! i couldn't get them as far forward as i was originally anticipating so im scrapping my livewell in the deck for now because i want some extra storage. i still may cut one more door on the passenger side in the deck but as of right now im just having a flip up door in between the consoles. the space under the deck will mostly be for my tackle boxes and life jacket storage.

couple pics. next few days im going to mount the trolling motor and button up the deck and start working on the splaswell and wiring this thing up!

better look at the light i added on both side pieces between the seat.

this is what i decided to do instead of having 2 more doors in my deck. a flip access to under the deck. i can reach everywhere under the deck from here. the 2 batteries under the deck take up alot of space!
