[QUOTE="gmoney, post: 200377, member: 4200"] I wish I had a lot more time to work on this build. Slowly making progress now. I decided to make a hatch for the battery in the middle seat. This was a lot of work to do because I had to remove half of the framing I had already constructed in order to remove the bench top. Then I had to rip out all of the foam that was inside of the bench in order to make room for the battery. I started cutting some scrap aluminum into some aluminum angle pieces so that I could put a tray for the battery to sit on within the bench. I couldn't get my mind around how I was going to fit the plywood for the bottom of the battery box into the bench because there is a lip on the bench that makes the opening narrower than the bench. Instead of wasting time thinking, I switched projects and traced the cardboard template onto the plywood and cut it out. [img]https://i1181.photobucket.com/albums/x435/gmoney422/Boat%20Project/106_0168.jpg[/img] It needs some fine tuning, but it should fit perfectly. As seen in the picture, I have to add of two little pieces on each side of the front deck because the boat is wider than a 4 feet so the plywood wasn't quite large enough. Should be an easy fix, hopefully I can get it all done this week and then cut out all of the hatches as well. The end is in sight! [/QUOTE]
