[QUOTE="Watch4Ice, post: 507021, member: 34110"] Almost done! I tried to make a nice trim piece for the top of the transom, but I'm not much of a metal worker and couldn't get nice bends out of the aluminum angle I'd bought. I wound up with a little chunk across the center where the motor will sit, and that'll have to be good enough! Fire extinguisher under the middle seat, and the oars are mounted to rubber clamps under the seats. No more rattling around underfoot, and my clamp on cupholders will fit on em! I regret not thinning the primer on the exterior. I didn't have the proper thinner, and I'd already mixed up a batch (2 part), so I just went with it. I ended up with visible roller stipple, but the fish won't care so I should just stop thinking about it lol. Next time I'll get it right! I'm planning to take it out a couple times before I decide where to mount the downrigger and fish finder, but beyond that it's just little stuff. I may add another seat for the front bench, but for now both my kids will fit on it and that will prevent fighting! [/QUOTE]
