[QUOTE="Jmar, post: 411196, member: 20812"] So after freeing up some time I was able to get moving along again. I have to trim down the wood for the side box. I cut it to close and didn't account for the carpet when I did it. I originally planned to just paint it, but I had enough leftover carpet to cover it. It's the only part not glued down so it shouldn't be a problem to pop up the staples and trim. The hinges will be going on after. The plywood is all sealed, I just forgot to take pics of that. It's glued down with exterior adhesive and stapled. The floors I screwed down to the frame after carpeting with black coated exterior deck screws and you can barely see them. I have a transom trolling motor and was looking at ways to make a side mount and rotate the head on it. I saw some ideas on the forum here. Everything I have been able to do is because of this forum and the info on it, a big thank you to everyone posting their boats and making this possible! Next will be installing swivels and seats then moving on to a bunch of little upgrades. Side rod holders on the brackets, fish finder. I'll save the painting for the next boat, this one will be able to get me and my little guys out fishing now! [/QUOTE]
