First the good news:



Bases for full sized swivel seats installed fore and aft

Twin cleats installed fore and aft: when running the motor on a big lake we have to tie up
at marinas to fuel up

Cleat and anchor brake are installed in the bow:
A substantial anchor in an anchor rode bag from west Marine
holds the anchor. When using the boat on a river, I thread the rope through anchor brake
and through the opening
at the bottom of the bag and attach to cleat
The anchor and rope are stowed in the bag
When needed I toss it out and hit the brake: no fuss or muss
Before I had to tie it around my wife's neck :)

Now we are ready for the Delaware and the Susquehanna
