    Was able to pull the floor out. Forgot how many screws I had used to hold it in place haha. Definitely signs of a soft spot but overall looked very good. Rerouted some wires and installed a PVC runway across the center of the boat. This time I added some foam under the floor not only for...

    That time again. Looking at ideas on how I want to change up my boat. Well since I installed the floor 4 years ago, the boat has definitely been used a lot and finally after just getting back from camping a soft spot was found in the floor. I had previously sealed the 1/2in plywood with Thompson...

    Installed the stereo, The bimini, and still doing some fine tuning. Had to modify the fenders because the tires were slightly rubbing when I would hit a big bump.

    Trailer Lights

    Not exactly sure what is going on here. The other day I hooked up my trailer lights and on the way to the boat ramp they worked fun. Everything the running lights, brake lights and turn signals. Then on the way home I was told that I had no brake lights or turn signals. I am not sure what...

    Been busy working on it. Got a bow mounted Minn Kota Trolling motor 40lb of thrust for the front and it works great. It moves the boat around better than I thought it would. Ordered the bow seat and pedestal. Put guide posts on the back and brake lights on them. Replacing the old lights on the...
