[QUOTE="AimLowRobin, post: 207720, member: 6218"] Decisions still to be made: - kicker motor? Just looking for the right deal, but it will be around the 8 or 9.9 hp range, hopefully 4 stroke. - type of lights. Due to our video needs, MH and HPS are ruled out. May use the old standby halogens, but looking real hard at LED technology. - paint vs vinyl wrap. - interior paint or coating? Most surfaces will be a five bar diamond plate. Many would just leave it silver but we fish a lot in the daytime so do not want all that reflected sunlight. My last boat was lined with a bedliner type material...we may go that route again. - exact seat arrangement behind center console. Looking at the builder fabbing up a "leaning post" type bench, or perhaps using a marine cooler for the seat portion. We will definitely have dual 2000 watt inverter generators underneath this seat though. Out of the way, in a permanent place, and noise sheilded from the front of the boat somewhat. [/QUOTE]
