[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 384029, member: 12995"] I finally remembered to take my camera with me yesterday. I have the windshield in but I'm still waiting on the console grabrail so I don't want to drill any holes for the windshield until I know how the grabrail will line up with it. I went out for 2 hours around 5pm to run it and make a few casts and sit back and relax. Every time I sit back, a fish jumps near the boat! No bites but it was nice enough to get out in shorts so I'm not complaining. I moved the console forward about 2 feet from where it was so that meant all new cables and wiring. I also relocated the battery under the console to get that weight forward so larger/longer battery cables were needed as well. I got most of the parts off Ebay so it's not brutally expensive. I still think the foam in the rear areas is soaked because it tilts to one side. I might cut open those areas and put hatches on so I can remove the foam if it's bad and then decide what to do with them. Updated with pictures of the windshield and railing added. [/QUOTE]
