Been a while thought I would update you all with the boat progress. The boat has been a true champ have added quite a few things since last post : A new hummingbird 898 ci/si , a live well for the tournaments , just installed a pedestal seat and some trim.
Finally got a break in the rain to get the carpet in. Still have to make 2 hatches 1 for the gas tank out back and 1 for the compartment out front under the trolling motor. Next need to install seats.
Got a lot done today. Framed in the back of the boat. 2 storage compartments in the back. 1 for the gas tank. Went over my buddies and he cut the floor for me. Now I need to treat the wood glue and screw down the floor and get ready for carpet. Also need to make the doors for the compartments.
Been working the past few days so haven't made too much progress. Finished the transom and mounted and carpeted the face of the bow compartment need to make the door to complete.
Those are 2 great questions

Thanks for the feed back all
Yesterday took a little ride and threw out a few lines. It looks like still have a few weeks before ice out. So I have time to prep the boat. Below you can see where I am at after day 3 and 4 with the boat.
Day 2 we framed out the live well and battery compartment now the floor goes down next step will be to cut out the compartments and then get ready for carpet. Trolling motor is in will be picking it up tomorrow minkota bow mount 45lbs thrust I think it will be enough to move the boat.
