[QUOTE="befmccracken, post: 277396, member: 9603"] Ok, I've taken the boat out on the bay now a few times and have run into some flaws. I'll write down a list of flaws and how I could fix the but will definitely be open to taking some of your ideas. - The battery needs to somehow be stationary and more out of the way. Somehow install a level surface right behind the end of the flooring. - The front hatch inside lip snapped off (5/8" lip attached to 5/8" deck). Metal brackets will hold more weight. - The bottom half of the rubber rod holders aren't attached to anything making them flop around and not hold rods very well. Really not sure what will look good and be supportive enough. - Trolling motor needs a better permanent support. I could rig something up with leftover wood. - Lights are not yet wired. Is it safe to run wire without being in some sort of extra housing? Thanks again, Brandon [/QUOTE]
