    Late '50's alumacraft mod

    In the end, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.. Things I will be modifying in the future: expanding the battery compartment by an inch or two so I can put them in boxes.

    What do you do for a living? or Fun (boating not allowed)

    This is what I can usually be found doing on any given day.. I'm a contractor for Comcast. When I'm not climbing, my 3 kids keep my busy with incessant requests for me to "Finish the boat and take us fishing!" Lol
