Got some more work done on my boat last night. Only 9 more days till duck season opens so I still have a few long night ahead. Got my radio and speackers installed also the antenna. Got my gun rack in and finished the floor in my pod storage.

 

[zseverns]

Got some of the wires pulled and started hooking up my switches and fuse block. I'll those pictures later when it is all done. Hinding all these wires been fun but will make for a clean install when im done.

 

[zseverns]

Well it has been a little while since I have worked on the boat. I was able to get some of the wiring done and all the lights are now hooked to switches and the wire hidden. Duck season is under way and has been the worst so I will be finishing the floor and tieing up some loose ends. After christmas if we get some water and good cold weather I will be back in the duck hole. I will be getting it all ready for the summer family fun while I wait for the ducks to start acting right.

Well I finally had some warm non rain or snow days to work on my boat. Got the floor cut a riveted down and almost got all my foam flooring down.

How was the rest of your duck season? Mine was god awful so I hope yours was better. Great lookin boat though

 

[zseverns]

Mine was horrible. We killed more ducks in one day last season then we did all season this year.

Not sure if you glued those foam squares down or not.
I had a few in my boat, went from the casting deck to the open floor and almost went overboard one day. Just like stepping on ice but then again I only had 3 pieces not tight to the sides. The piece I stood on slide on the aluminum...big surprise ...they are nice on a hot day though.

 

[zseverns]

I haven't glued them down yet but I have sprayed them with water and it is pretty nonskid it has a raised pattern on it. Need to find out what kind off glue to use on the foam.

 

[Zum]

For me the foam wasn't slippery, it just slid out on the aluminum floor.
I was like one of those kids with them "skim" boards at the beach...except I wasn't ready, or a kid[emoji4]

 

[zseverns]

I'm sure it a good laugh now. I have a post asking about what type of glue to use so I can glue it down good.
