Got a lot more done, almost finished. Still need to fab the remaining battery box, the floor is in and steering counsel is in. All electrical is in functioning order, just need to pretty it all up and tuck it away. Need to put the trolling motor back on and mount the front seat. The decking...

Yeah, that's what I read. I just did not want carpet! Looks good though!

For the first coat of deck restore on my floor boards. It seems to be a great product. Although 3-4 weeks to completely cure

Well I spent a whole lot of time getting stuff done. I ended up buying new plywood (non-PT), spar-urethane, pex tubing, 4 -gauge black wire, a 60amp reset-able circuit breaker, 10 gauge wire, bilge pump tubing, some cheap switches (until I can afford better ones), and I decided to give the deck...

Gonna try and get it finished today and tomorrow, as long as I don't pass out from heat exhaustion! Gotta go shopping though...will see how the wife responds to how much I spend. Decided for now to use cheap switches wired off of fuse block. Does anyone typically use a fuse block as well as a...

Yeah the one I want is about 80. But 50 sounds better.

Any suggestions on a switch panel??

A buddy of mine actually made those stencils. He did an awesome job, and is way more artistic and creative then me. I appreciate all the compliments. I am very happy with how it is all turning out. I actually bought some 1/2 inch pex water tubing to do all my electrical with as a conduit. It is...

Wow, a lot of awesome posts! Thanks everyone. I started my build page separate from this thread. I am going to take the advice from all of this actually. I have decided to temporarily do a wood deck, screwed to the ribs. I screwed up and bought PT-wood and will not be using this obviously...

Thanks for the advice. So I will most likely just buy the right stuff and do right and be done, but I still need to coat the plywood with something, and carpet is out of the question. What would be your suggestions if I am not going to use tuff coat or carpet for a good non-slip, less heat, more...

Ok, so I have been trying to figure out a way to still use my PT-wood and I may have come up with a solution. What about coating both sides with tuff coat? Would that work? Also I discovered a product called "Deck Restore." Has anyone heard of it or used it? Was thinking about using this product...

I googled and did the research. I'm going to scrap the PT-wood and buy the outdoor plywood and just seal it with Non-Skid Tuff coat from cabelas. Bummer. Wish I would have read that first. a bunch of wasted time!

No pressure treated wood??? CRAP! that's what I bought and just started mocking up! Why do you say no to pressure treated??? I just spent 90 bucks on pressure treated wood. I thought since it is going to be wet regularly pressure treated would be best? Anyway, I just got everything mocked up for...

It is a lot less room than it looks. I would like to place conduit to protect my wires and I would not even be able to get 3/4 inch PVC in it. I have seen one or 2 builds where people have done their wiring and drilled through the ribs, I just didn't know if this was a good idea or not. Anyway...
