Open 16ft starcraft SS with tiller?

[g0nef1sshn]

Well I had some time today and boxed in the one side. Its pretty solid. Ill do the other side maybe tomorrow, but I will first have to trim the foam more incase I end up with a console first. I have the bow facing piece of the side I did cut just rigth so if I have to remove the side wall it too will slide out just snug enough under the splash well.

Almost made it to HD today to get some more stuff to start the seating, maybe tomorrow?....

started on the bench seat. Might change it to two box seats and a middle filler piece to be a complete bench?

latest progress on the bench. Decided to leave it floating and added and aluminum tray inside it for a little dry storage. Still planning out how ill have the top open up.

got the sides to the interior bench storage in. Might get out tomorrow and shop around how I am going to hinge the lid on.

Man this just gets better and better. Very nice work man!

Bench is pretty much complete now.

Finished up boxing in the other side of the splashwell. Also cut the foam through the control hole incase I end up with a console instead of tiller to start with.

Ok, so I spent 5 bucks on a cheap hole drill thing and the bit tip broke on the first drill attempt. I did pre-drill a hole first too. So the bit tip breaking really shouldnt have broke like that Its just the deal with cheap stuff. Ill clean up the small angle piece and attach it to the knee brace with pop rivets when I have some more time. I liked how all I had to do was remove 5 screws to get that corner foam section out. only took 2 mins to do.

The exit cover was white. scuffed it with some sand paper, hit it with a primer and dusted in black spray paint. we will see how that holds up.

I put my girls down for a nap and went out to think about blinds. While sitting in it, two holes in the top sides were bothering me so I grabbed the box the held the old fishing rod holders that came with the boat. All 4 were white so I scuffed them up and painted them brown. Then I saw a roll of camo gorilla tape and went and was able to wrap 2 of them. came out nice I think. I sealed the tops of the two of the sides with a lock tight sealer and sprayed over in black. More touch up paint to do when I pick up more colors than black.

ordered a switch panel, when that gets in ill start running the wires and planning where exactly it will go.

Bilge is in but the base is still curing to the hull. Added "oh shoot" handles for the riders. Added some tie down points and start filling the seat with goodies. Ones getting wrapped and goin under the tree soon though.

got the splashwell drains in. I did it like the PO did with PVC. I put them in flush on the inside and a lip with another ring on the outside. Quick dry 5200 all over the place. Then I cut the plate I had covering the two holes to now only cover one. Used a fostner bit to drill through the transom.

Some recent updates... Got ahold of some pontoon walls to use as a blind.

And some more, adding backng plates under the gunnels. Plus checking out some camo.
