Im interested to see what you think of the aluminum. Thats stuff is going to make a lot of noise walking around on it. best of luck.

You did a great job on your boat. We all now the amount of time and energy it takes to get it done from start to finish, but its fun and rewarding. Unfortunately the dollars do add up haha. I have my trolling motor mounted off the bow of my boat and it works great. My fishing buddy sits up front...

Please let us know what you find out about getting more juice out of your motor. i have a 9.9 Merc and would love a few extra ponies. Motors are expensive!

The boat is looking great. I love the color. 16 footer should be nice and roomy too. I was looking at your schematic for back part of the boat, what are the two circles you have going to be? lights, i thinking. if you are wondering what to get take a look at mine, i put in four; two in the front...

Thanks for the comments guys. As far as how expensive the parts are for the motor, I have no idea. The only thing I've had to do to the motor was drown it in carb cleaner and replace the impelar. It runs like a champ.

its an old Merc 110. its actually a 9.8 but it run like a bat out of hell! i love it. would love to get a 15 horse back there but motors are pricey. thanks Hanr3 for the link.

thanks everyone for all the input. here are a few pics of the semi finished product. i used spray paint on the floor. its by krylon and is for indoor/outdoor use. so far it has held up pretty well. only a few scuff marks which was easily covered up with a bit more spray paint. i used spray paint...

Hey everyone, its been quite some time. I wanted to see what everyones take on rod holders was. ive been having one hell of a time finding some that will mount over the rail of my boat. i prefer to do it that way rather than drill more holes in the boat, especially because i may want to move...

i have a switch panel from Seasense. it the marine 5 way switch panel. im having some trouble wiring it. can anyone help? the only part im confused about it what do i do with the positive wire coming from my lights? the negative one gets wired to the neg buss bar on the panel. makes sense. it...

finally got a chance to get some work done. cut the holes and installed the two lights on the front deck as well as the 12v/dc outlet up front as well. the dc outlet will make it easy for the person up front to use the spotlight at night so more worrying about batteries! woohoo! got the back...

i got a lot accomplished today. a buddy of mine helped out a lot so it made things easier. a lot of carpeting! i decided not to go with the upper lever where i planned on mounting the trolling motor. after putting the flooring in where the storage unit is up front and the platform on front, i...

thats a really good tip about the toggle bolts! thanks a ton, i will probably be using them for mounting my seats. would you suggest them for securing my plywood to the top of my bench seats for my deck or something else? thanks again

so far the boat looks great! i really like the idea for pull tabs on the storage doors. i was going to use the black finger latches but you have to actually drill and set those. the tabs looks a lot easier and better actually. keep up the good work. =D>

you mean the front deck to ther BOW? stern is the back. anyways, its not attached yet, i still have to carpet it and attach the door for the storage. i havent decided if im going to use just screws or drill holes and put bolts in. if i use bolts i have to remove the foam under the seat which is...

how do i what to the what?
