[QUOTE="LKennedy12, post: 309366, member: 11207"] I had beautiful weather today to work on the boat. I finished cutting out the compartments in the back of the boat. I used a recip saw and tin snips. It isn't easy work. [ATTACH type="full" alt="PowerTools.jpg"]50536._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="CompartmentBackBench.jpg"]50538._xfImport[/ATTACH] I needed to remove the styrofoam and nasty rats' nests from the back bench. I knew they were still in there because I could smell them. So I cut a new compartment into the back bench.
