[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 450048, member: 22384"] Some Updates to this build: The old Merc Model 200 (20 hp) bit the dust and I'm up for a repower. After scouring the internet in my area, I've decided to repower to a 1978 Johnson 35. The 35 will fit the boat much better and get me the power that I need. The biggest issue, is that the 35 uses controls, so now I need to fab a console. This will end up being an upgrade, but I've got some work to do to get the boat to where it needs to be. I would have designed the boat totally differently if I had known a console would be in the picture. Any ideas/advice/learnings from adding a side console to a boat like this? Additionally, I purchased a Garmin Striker 4 to add to the front of the boat. Got sick of turning around to look at the big chart while casting/trolling. Will get pics up as I get these additional fabs going! [/QUOTE]
