[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 347614, member: 9470"] Here's a few pics of my latest progress. I finally found a livewell for the stern at a place that scraps out old boats and sells the parts. I was able to reuse the original bench seat livewell lids on the stern, one for livewell access and the other for the fuel tank access. I've since put a coat of self etching primer on the pieces getting ready for my interior nonskid coating. I sure thought I'd be closer to finished with this project by now but it sure is fun. One of my buddies who has no patience for stuff like this keeps reminding me that I could have just bought a boat and would not have to mess with all of this, what I remind him of is that not only do I enjoy it I also know every inch of the boat and trailer and the layout will be as I want it. Also if anyone knows where I could find edging for my aluminum pieces and some sort of rubber sealer to use to keep my rod locker and storage as dry as possible. I've seen it on tracker boats' livewell lids. It's like 1" wide and has adhesive on one side. Thanks Buckethead Well I'm only able to upload one picture, my new iphone takes pictures that are bigger than 2 MiB and they won't upload. I'm gonna have to come up with a different plan. I'll try to take smaller pics and get them posted. [/QUOTE]
