[QUOTE="Badbagger, post: 301046, member: 5389"] Thursday update. Ran down to the fabricator to drop off some hardware. They started late yesterday morning. They've got the rear bench storage areas cut out as you can see in the photos. They've also welded up a 3/16" plate in the center to mount my seat base up to. The bench is 88" long and 19" wide give or take so I'll end up with two storage compartments 30" long by about 16" wide. Made them short enough so I could open the lids on the storage boxes without having issues with the lids hitting the seats. They got my anchor/storage cut out in the bow. It's 41" long and about 18" wide. This should give us plenty of storage. SeaArk builds a tank of a boat and that's pretty evident by looking at the photos BUT, they didn't offer much in the way of storage. They're going to make me a new fuel hatch as well. It's 41" wide but only has one latch to keep the hatch secured. All of the lids for the storage will have 2 latches so they'll stay secured. They were bending up the drop in boxes for the rear bench storage when I was there an I'm sure all of the boxes for the rear bench and anchor locker will be done today. Once that's done and they're all welded into place, fab up some lids. The only two things remaining will be the stern lids to fab and then they'll tackle the side walls and a few other minor things such as the zinc anode bracket etc. I'm thinking they'll be done by Monday. They'll got a lot of boats scheduled to hit their facility and they get them in and right back out the door. So far, so good for a days work. [/QUOTE]
