[QUOTE="cathprod, post: 79302, member: 1146"] Wow it has been a while. I have an update for everyone. I have all the decking cut and have put the bench seat covers on. I went ahead with them opening to the outside of the boat but made sure that they would allow easy access while outside the boat as warned (Thanks for the heads up baptistpreach). You can basically get the idea of what she will look like once carpeted. The decks will be removable so I took a shot of the handle we will use to more easily remove them. I also threw in a shot of the final paint job and the 15hp Mercury. I finally took her out on the water and with three men averaging about 160 lbs each she seemed to go about 20 give or take a few. I will check with the gps next time out. The really good news is that there was not one drop of leakage!!! The bad news is that that where the ribs were previously welded they cracked again. We will be adding more ribs and welding the broken ones correctly this weekend so that it should be good as new. I hope everyone is doing well! [/QUOTE]
