[QUOTE="Islander78, post: 465728, member: 24501"] I only gave em 150$ deposit..he may yet still be helpful as a referance person and i might still have em replace the transom n floor ply this winter. So, ive given the boat a good once over cleaning and taken her out for a few runs now. Ol girls tired and definitely ready for an overhaul. But still seaworthy. Im lookin at redoing all the electrical now. Ive found a radio n speakers, and im thinking of building a good dash board. Replacing the stearing wheel with a unique one, and adding the appropriate gauges..i can encorperate the side throttle housing and speaker mounts for both sides if i give it a more robust dash..i have a good electrician friend that may be able to help..again, im only a carpenter and feel the wiring will be best left to a pro. I also am going to build a box for the captains seat on a swivel, instead of the post mount. And a box for a blue cooler live well that doubles for a passenger seat. The two back swivel seats are fine for now, until i replace the floor with new marine grade ply..plus new foam under it.. Just happy to have her docked behind my house and usable for fishin and relaxin..should be a great summer! [/QUOTE]
