Here is a shot of the LEDS

Got my interior LED's installed. I'm very happy with them. The front strip will eventually be inside the front storage compartment/casting deck once it's built. For now, it's all open and ready. Last bit of wiring is the bilge pump, then it will be onto the floor and building a casting deck.

Not a ton of progress has been made. I'm in a bit of a waiting period waiting to be able to buy my flooring and the angle brackets to do the deck and floors. I did get the LED nav lights wired, and my LED interior lights should be here tomorrow hopefully. After that the only other thing I...

Your bare feet gonna be on the floor??

How sturdy are those hatches? Particularly the biggest one. I am about to order one that is similar, don't know if I'm gonna go for the stock 12x30ish one or get one a little larger like you. Mine will be the only hatch on my front deck, so I will be standing on It some while fishing and wanted...

Got my switch panel in yesterday so it was time to go back to work. I really like this Blue Sea System panel. It was very easy to wire! Friday I went and had a local shop cut and weld me a piece of metal so I'd have a little extra space for my light bar and nav lights. Next is my nav ligJts...

The strip kleen worked great. Got all the gunk off. Now ready for wiring. This is my biggest uncertainty, as I have not done a complete wire job before. Here is some before and after pics.

Got it pressure washed today. Also bought some Strip Kleen adhesive remover. I'll post some pictures of how well it works when I get to it this week. Hopefully gonna buy my materials for the deck and floor this week as well.

I am 100% new to electric. I have just begun my rebuild and am about to do my electric work. This will involve me getting every tool needed. Is there a thread on here that walks through wiring a switch panel, buss bar etc really in depth? I am planning on running one of the common panels off...

Now I am trying to decide if I want to run my electrical first or put in my flooring and build my deck back up. Any advice? I plan on running my wiring through the sidewalls of the boat. So putting the floor down now wouldn't be a big deal. But running my wires from the front may be a bit...

How's the progress coming?

Got all the debris cleaned out today. Next is a good pressure wash. Gotta grab some strip kleen to get the old carpet glue off as well.

My next project is it get it real clean and start on the front deck. More pictures to come.

I've made some headway recently on the tear down. Some of the pics are loading sideways so sorry about that. I have taken every bit of wiring out of the boat, and every bit of old rotted wood. I'm planning on going back with an aluminum floor, and also building a frame to connect from the...

Once I got the boat back in 2014, I put a tiller on it and ripped out the console. Now an open floor plan. I was ready for the woods. The boat is rock solid, and doesn't leak a drop. The 25 evinrude pushes it right at 30 with 2 guys empty. And about 32-33 with just me.

Figured I would go ahead and make a conversion thread instead of just asking questions on different projects. This boat has a lot of history with me. My dad bought this boat when I was 12 (27 now). We always planned on it being a console boat, used for fishing mainly. But once my dad developed...

I live in Lafayette, LA. Everywhere I have priced has been over 300$ for a 4x8 of .90

Everywhere around town I have been seems super high on sheet metal. I'm looking for a 4x8 piece of .100 thickness to redo my flooring in my boat. Any idea what a good price would be? Or where to order from?

Marine grade plywood

First post. Been here a while but I lurk. I am more active on other forums, but I have a question. I stareted a rebuilt of my 1548 Duracraft recently. I am going from two small storage compartments on the front deck to one compartment. I am 6'4, and around 230. I am wondering what type of...
