I apologize for the extremely late responses. It's been a busy family life with new baby and working on changing careers. As for the console I bought it pre-made. Here is a link to a website that sells them. https://www.akmccallumco.com/store-console.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. Did a lot of research into getting that part done. Originally it had wood, but over the years it rotted and my grandfather put PVC on there but the boat was extremely flimsy.

Thanks Jim. I really appreciate it. And I am very proud. I do construction for a living but building boats is another story. Turned out better than I ever thought it would.

I forgot this one.

First Bass caught on the boat in Ca Delta. First trout in the Sierras, and all around good time for my family and friends.

Here are some more from the project.

Hello everyone. This project has taken me 3 years, and I finally have it on the water. Throughout the past few years I have learned a lot from all of you on your projects and questions I had answered by other members. Thank you all...I had a lot of help from my friends, invested quite a bit of...

Thank you everyone for the replies. I ended up buying #4 tinned wire. Havent tried to start the motor yet but im sure it will be fine.

Thank you for getting back to me. Here is a picture of the switches that I have. Probably have a am/fm stereo, lights, accessory plug, and a bilge pump.

Hello everyone. Im getting ready to move my batteries to the front of my boat but im wondering what size wire people suggest, and is it actually necessary to use tinned wires. The batteries will be about 12' from the motor. Will 4awg be enough to start the engine at that distance? Its a older...

How as the paint held up over the steel flex? I painted my boat with the steel flex but I'm not really happy with the finish product. I would prefer not to have to sand all of it off the sides if I don't have to. I was thinking of doing a light sand and then using a self etching primer for a...

Right on everyone. Sounds like it will be more of a pain than anything, and Im sure I will be using my trolling motor most of the time so as long as I fill my tank every trip I should be good. Thank you for all of your quick replies. Once my project is complete I will post all of the pics...

Hello everyone. I have a boat project going right now and I'm just about to the point that I will be wiring everything up and getting my decks installed. I have a 9 gallon fuel tank that doesn't have a fuel sending unit and I was wondering if I can cut a hole in the tank to install one. They are...

Great looking project man. Im in the process of redoing my boat and trying to figure out the best flooring. Was wondering what the name of the paint you used and how well it has held up. Did you roll it on or spray it? I was thinking of doing marine grade linoleum but still debating.

Thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking of putting the steering console where the center bench was, and builing my front deck to that. Do you think rotary is better than a rack and pinion? This is my first boat overhaul, and all the components and accesories are things im learning about.
