[QUOTE="Starkfishes, post: 437543, member: 22441"] Made pretty good progress this week. I have the rear deck finished and the main storage compartment in the front deck complete. I primed the bare aluminum and then used truck bed liner to paint the interior of the boxes. It is taking a lot longer than I imagined but for a first build I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. Here are some progress pictures: [b]Rear Compartments Primed:[/b] [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/E26FCFC7-1A7C-4C40-A2F1-E03AE9548724.jpg[/img] [b]Beginning of Front Deck:[/b] [img]https://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff354/Starkfishes/2017%20xPress%201652%20Conversion/FAFE7819-F5E2-4267-AE57-60ADAC14C518.jpg[/img] I had to use a couple of ropes tied to the front of the boat for tension when starting to build off of the rear wall of the front deck. The ropes allowed me to adjust each side separately to ensure I was plumb and square.
