[QUOTE="Rick James, post: 188381, member: 3092"] Boy I'm going to have a big update thread this weekend to post here. I pulled the cover off last weekend and really went to town on the boat. Last weekend, I managed to cut the top off the center bench and gut it, carpet and install tops for both benches including a hatch w/ stainless piano hinge for the middle bench, build a frame to hold both my batteries and my new 2 bank charger inside the middle bench, wire in the charger and install the power cord port on the side of the bench, carpet and install a very small front deck on the front for the new 45lb MK Edge foot control motor, I installed the motor, and I installed all seat pedestal bases. It was a long two days, but I'm really starting to make progress and it's starting to really look good. Last night I also built and carpeted the box for my fuse panel and my switch panel. All the wiring showed up yesterday and I have a new pair of Humminbird 570 DI's that should be here by this weekend too. This upcoming weekend the plan is to wire the whole boat up and get all the electronics in working order. I also bought the aluminum angle and rivet tool today, so I'm hoping to get the front floor area framed and in place once the electric is done, and then get the front floor cut, carpeted, and installed. I'm hoping I'll have the boat 99% done after this weekend, just in time for the lakes to hopefully open up in my area. :mrgreen: I'm heading out of town tomorrow till Friday, so I'll have to wait till then to post pictures. I'll have a good picture update this weekend though. [/QUOTE]
