[QUOTE="millertime4242, post: 159684, member: 3002"] Well I made a lot of progress on the rear deck over the weekend. Built all the supports and cut the deck and deck lids. Hopefully I can continue to work on it this week and have it ready soon. Heading up to Wisconsin Friday night for a club tourney, so not sure if I'll get to finish it this week. I took pics and I'll post them tonight. I did run into one problem, and that was how get my fuel tank in and out while keeping the configuration of deck lids that I wanted. Well after about two hours staring at the boat ](*,) I finally came up with the solution. Hard to describe without the pics so I'll wait until tonight. Thanks for all the kind words, it's turning out to be one hell of a FISHING MACHINE!!!! Ya know...I'm not sure :oops: I'm not to familiar with outboards, the one on the boat is the one that came with it. The bottom of the prop extends about a foot below the bottom of the boat, so I'm thinking it's a short shaft. I know the difference is the length of the shaft (enter joke here) but I'm not sure as what length qualifies it as short or long. Maybe you can let me know??? [/QUOTE]
