A little disappointing, had some motor issues. A funny part of the day was that we got a little too confident in the shallows and ended up beaching the boat in about an inch of water lol. We had to get out and drag the boat backwards about twenty yards! I've got some photos to upload but...

I think I'm going to run it how it is right now and if it gives me problems I'll have an all aluminum transom welded in! I have the afternoon off so I plan on finishing it up and getting on the water today before dark!!

ive been moving to a new house for three weeks so I had to throw it back in the barn, hope to start back in on it this weekend!

Good work!

Looks like I'm going to need an e fuel pump, picked up a Mr Gasket 42s over the lunch hour today.

Thanks man!

That steering wheel is pimp 8)

I think so, it bugs the heck of of me.

Also need to pick up a new trailer winch. The one that is on there now is terrible. :lol: And yes, my battery cables are re-purposed jumper cables!

I had six holes in the boat that I needed to plug up. 2 on the bow and 4 on the transom. I figure the holes in the transom were from the previous owner bolting on a motor (3/8") and transducer (drilled out to 1/4"), but I have no idea what the holes in the bow were from. You can see I already...

That is a huge boat! Good work!

That is surprising.

I'm just going to use the rubber mats you see in the photos above. They are from home Depot, 4x8 and 3/8 thick. I wanted aluminum but didn't think the cost was with it for this boat. I got some more done last night but haven't uploaded photos, cut my thumb pretty good while trimming the...

If you're over 10hp in Iowa you have to have an extinguisher. That one is getting tossed though. ..along with the seats, they are from the previous owner!

Tough crowd. :lol:

Got some more time tonight to finalize the battery box and fuel tank mounting. Glamorous no, but it'll do for now until I decide what I really want to do with this boat. I got my pieces of aluminum angle cut up with the miter saw (ears are still ringing lol). Had to notch out the foam...

I think we have the same light bar....it is bright!!

Continuing on... Stole an hour or so tonight to get my floor started. I'm going with a combination of foam cut to fit in between the floor ribs, with a rubber mat over the top. I'm going to paint the sides of the floor where the rubber mat ends black so that your eye isn't drawn to that area...

That's a good layout you have, your angle work looks like it'll support anything!
