[QUOTE="skyline223, post: 380757, member: 14863"] I haven't had as much progress to report lately. Been busy with work and school but I've made some headway.. I have been focusing on getting the front deck finished. I ran all the wires for the nav light, docking lights, horn, and trolling motor and loomed them all, then wire clipped them to the aluminum reinforcements (sorry no pic, it's under the deck now!) I also added the Tempress hatch for underdeck access. I coated the underside of the deck in spar varnish and got it all bolted down solid. I framed up a trolling motor mount for the front (still in progress) and added a Minn-Kota quick disconnect plug (she's going to get a quick detatch motor mount as well). I have now sealed up the edges of the deck with marine silicone. Once that is dry, I am going to seal the top of the deck and then give it a white bedliner type coating. So far so good. You can also see in the pic that I have mounted my on board dual bank battery charger so that it will be accessible from the hatch under the center console.
