I really like the looks of this boat. You have any specs on it?
 
Dr. Nip the boat is 17 1/2 ft long Beam is 82".

The Wife gave me a early Christmas present Minn Kota I pilot. Can not wait to try it out. But we have lots of work before we can do that.

Thanks for the comments I have caught a cold so have not been out in the barn for a couple days hope to get back at it this weekend.
 
Well feeling a bit better and got back to work on the boat. Got new plywood cut and coated with spar urethane. Finished new aluminuim lids for new front compartments.
Next will be vinyl floor installation or gun whale glove box type compartments.

Those are really good look lids with trim. Have any pis of the process on them?
 
DrNip, They where made just like the panels I posted earlier. Measure lid size add 3/4 on all 4 sides then cut 3/4x3/4 notch on each corner. Bend all four sides down 90 degrees.
The trim was more challenging because the oridigonal pieces are "Z" shaped so the lids will have something to set on. So for the 2 new ones I added I took 2 pcs. Of angle and made a Z with them and took them to work and welded them togather. After final installation I plan to rivet them to the braces under the floor. Hope this helps.

Spent all day putting Nautolex vinyl on about half of the floor and deck pieces. Finished all the pieces with the wood now I have to finish the aluminum ones.

Thanks Big Wave
Well have been slowly picking away at finishing the vinyl installation. And tonight start putting carpet on some of the side panels.
This part of the project is taking longer than I figured it would.
The good news is 5 hrs of work tomorrow and I will be off until 2014.
The next step will be paint prep and paint.
