Updating this thread as it is finally done. I'm sorry that the old pictures are not posting correctly but it looks like you have to spend $400 to upgrade the photo bucket account? No thanks. They weren't anything special anyways. I suffered a broken tib/fib playing hockey the week before...
Love what you did with the bow section. Any chance you have more pictures of how you did that battery box up front?
I've cut a section running forward of the front bench and have plans to turn it into an anchor locker, but I would really love to put the trolling battery up there too. Right now...
I have a stainless fish spike that I use, punch em right through the top of the head and into the cooler with salt slush. they're frozen solid in no time and taste much better than if they're allowed to die on their own. Can't hang them over the side here either unless you want a sea lion in...
I have a fully plumbed 20 gallon in mine, through-hull pump attached to a seacock as described above. The pump runs non-stop as I usually have a half scoop of sardines in there. 800gph pump might be overkill but it gets the water moving and is constantly flushing the scales. I have two outlets...
This is still the best way I've seen to mount a transom trolling motor up on the bow. Once my broken leg heals, I plan to do the same on for mine, and will be installing a plug type connector to the front and rear battery compartments so that I can easily move the motor fore and aft as needed...
Edit***This post is hilarious in hindsight once you see what the boat has actually become.
Hey guys!
It's taken me forever to finally get this thread going, but I've finished what I'm calling "Phase 1" and want to get some ideas/feedback on Phase 2. I'm also ready to reduce my estimated 6:1...
