[QUOTE="milli, post: 412994, member: 20997"] The motor runs really well. I was very surprised and Happy that all that was wrong with it was the timing linkage that was adjusted wrong. Lesson learned. I picked up some 3/4 inch exterior plywood and stainless steel screws tonight. I got 4 different sizes of screws because I am not sure which will work best (trial and error). After getting home I was looking the boat over quick and realized that I had 1 small piece of non rotted original piece of wood and decided to see how thick it was. The original was only 1/2 inch. Im thinking Lund used half inch because they were using the foam as part of the floor structure so it didn't bow or dip when walking on it. I decided for now I am going to hold off on putting any foam in the boat. I couldn't decide how I wanted to do it. I was originally thinking that I would use 2 inch pink foam from menards but after looking at it I am just not sure. (I will be adding a bilge pump this weekend). I also got a carpet sample while at menards. I am going to check and see if Cabelas has carpet in stock before making the final purchase. Thanks everyone for enjoying my rebuild. There will be lots of pics added over the weekend of my progress. [/QUOTE]
