    camo painting with stencil?

    I agree with this. I bought mine from Red Leg Camo https://www.redlegcamo.com/#!camo-stencils/c8z9. I like them, but the stencils were so thin that once too much paint got on them from the spray can, they would get super flimsy and didn't hold up terribly well. I used the camo colors of spray...

    Transducer Mount

    I picked up a cutting board from goodwill (no sense in paying full price) and cut it in half, then JB welded it with clamps overnight. I then drilled through the cutting boards, marked and drilled the holes in the boat. I put JB weld on the back of the cutting board and used fine threaded size...

    Jon Boat Electrical Installation from Scratch

    Yep. I used two fine threaded size 10 screws with rubber/metal washers on both sides before putting a lock nut on each. Pretty happy with the results.

    Jon Boat Electrical Installation from Scratch

This boat had zero electrical when...

    Driving Lights Install - UPDATED W/MORE LIGHTS!!

    Paper, can you provide a link to the lights you used on the inside of your boat? They appear to be the Atwood 4 LED lights, but I'm not sure and I'm wanting to do the same to my boat.

    Tjbev13 Monark 1542 Mod v Bass boat/Duck boat build!

    Looking good! I was considering getting an angle welded to my transom in the middle, much like your's, to relieve some of the pressure when raising/lowering the motor. Where does your transom flex when you are raising/lowering your motor? Are you running any electrical up front for a trolling motor?

    First build - 16ft Duck Boat

    Can you post any pictures/descriptions of how you ran the electrical, what battery you went with and it's setup? Great job so far. Looks very clean.
