Looks Good!!! Lots of fun ahead!!!

Front deck build

This build is awesome! Great job! I’m in the RVA as well working on a build... but it’s taking me way too long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks... that's probably something I really don't want to think about. :) Everything together... maybe $400-500... not counting the new bow mount trolling motor All Aluminum + screws and rivets plywood and styrofoam epoxy resin carpet and glue and staples new seats and seat mounts all...

Had the transom cap and corner brackets welded back on...just need to bolt it all back together and slap on some paint. Now that the monsoon has finally stopped here in Virginia... I should be able to get back at it.

A few more pictures of the progress... Center section with hatches... center hatch is where batteries will be... other 2 will be storage for whatever... I got the speakers installed... the Bluetooth radio will be added soon.

Got started on the wiring...a few weeks ago. The transom board is ready to install and I plan to have all the welding done next week. wrapped all the plywood with carpet... Going to finish up the carpet and wiring in the next week or so...

Weather is finally warm... been working on the boat some over the past few weeks. I'll post some pictures of the recent progress.

Got the carpet to cover the plywood.... guess I have all winter to get that done now. Been hunting and haven't had a chance to do much with the boat.

I've sealed all the plywood with West Marine Epoxy Resin.... can anyone tell me if it needs to be scuffed up prior to applying the marine carpet glue?

Well just about all the plywood is cut.... And I got the seat mounts install... here's the one for the front Need to get hatches cut and seal everything. And I need to try and get the transom done and welded.

Basically I still need to seal all the plywood and I plan to cover with carpet. I used 1/2 CDX exterior plywood... pretty easy to work with. I'll keep you posted once I get everything wrapped up... this project seems to never end!

Cut out the center seat...plan to use to store batteries and other storage and electrical... and I'll add as much foam board and other foam as I can fit!!!! Also cut the rear seat for gas can storage and got some of the framing done in the stern Framing is almost done...only a few more...

I've got an idea for the rear of the boat.... Remove part of the rear seat and frame it out with angle and plywood... I need room for the gas tank. Fill in any open areas with foam. I'm going to add aluminum frame and plywood decking to the rear of the boat... I need to get the gas tank out of...

Found a decent price on Duracell Marine batteries... anyone have any input on their quality? I was leaning towards just going with a couple Walmart batteries... Any thoughts...
