I'm hopeful to add the floor before winter season, in the meantime I added another ram and a dedicated Marcum flasher with an open water transducer to accompany the Helix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to provide a quick update, I installed the cargo net to the front tonight to hold plano's and life jackets. I haven't started constructing the floor but should be starting sometime soon. I spent most of the evening replacing trailer bulbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Since my latest update, I've moved the Humminbird 598 to the bow on a ram mount, no photos yet. I installed a Helix 12 si on a ram mount at the rear while changing out the vinyl material at the stern to avoid having pre existing holes. Removed middle bench last week, the plan is to begin a floor...

I've ordered two small pods lights for the bow of my tinner, I'll post something in this thread once I complete them. I boat through these tunnels late at night/ early morning and it would help with navigating a bit

Great build thread, the more time you spend in the boat the more you will find exactly what you need and in what spots accommodate the best, looking forward to seeing more progress.

Here's my 2013 Alumacraft V-14, I've got a build thread in the boat house, 20hp Suzuki, minn Kota power drive v2 i-pilot, Humminbird 598 side imagining all on ram mounts, Scotty down riggers, Alumacraft pedestal seats, whitewater splash guards, rod holders, tool holders, anchor lock on bow...

I recently ordered these Whitecap splashguards to prevent the transom overflow in big open water and back trolling. I contemplated it for so long because it wasn't possible with a transom mount trolling motor but since switching to a bow mount I've decided this is the way to go. I will take more...

I did use pressure treated 3/8 wood, I wrapped it completely in the Alumacraft vinyl before putting bolts through the gunnel's, I will be removing it for the winter months and only having it bolted on from May-October. I'm not to concerned and worse case if this boat does have problems just swab...

I was considering getting the ram mount to keep the head of the motor from bouncing but after test driving there's really no play/movement so I will hold off on that for now. I have ordered LED navigation lights that I will be drilling into the wooden deck in front of trolling motor as well as...

Spent some time this weekend making a 3/8 plywood front deck to house the new Minn Kota Powerdrive 55lb V2 with i-pilot, I ordered the matching vinyl fabric through Alumacraft. Still waiting on the Minn Kota power plug to drill into the new wooden wall. Will be getting a Humminbird Helix 7 to...

Managed to get the LED lights installed and removed the factory corroded lights, as expected a big difference in brightness. Had some time before the sun went down to install the trailer guides as well, they might sit a little low in the water when at the launch to do much but spring time will tell.

Nice progress, especially like the carpet wrap, can't wait to see the final result
