[QUOTE="phxbuckeye, post: 131370, member: 1605"] i got a lot accomplished today. a buddy of mine helped out a lot so it made things easier. a lot of carpeting! i decided not to go with the upper lever where i planned on mounting the trolling motor. after putting the flooring in where the storage unit is up front and the platform on front, i realized how much weight i just added to the boat; especially with the battery up there! i plan on putting the second battery in the back next to the gas tank. i used just 2x2's and screwed them under the lip to mount the trolling motor too. i think it makes it much easier to take the motor on and off for towing purposes. when i lays down its at a perfect angle too. the handle is at a perfect distance too when sitting in the front seat. i have yet to put in a dc outlet on the deck to the right of the storage door. this will be for the guy up front to plug the spotlight into at night. i will have my own outlet on the switch panel i bought. anyone have any ideas on a bow light? i would like to have one permantly mounted up there and run the wires to the switch panel. also decided not to put in a wood floor for the purposes of saving weight again. im just going to run carpet on the floor and about 1/3 up the side. had it laid out and it looks good. i bought some textured paint for the insides of the boat. did the front above the deck. it looks great.
