[QUOTE="Hustler16, post: 410058, member: 20692"] Almost caught up with with the posts to real time progress, a couple of odd mods...include sealing a hole in the bottom where aerator pump was prior. I plan to move it to the rear rather than on the bottom. I was uncomfortable with the pump and strainer hanging below a boat I plan on being shallow, and in a lot of flooded timber in. The solution was a sandwich of sorts. The hole was 1" so we put some billet on a lathe and made 2 pieces one male and the other female to fit the hole and threaded to sandwich together with sealant in and around. It looks giant and is probably a bit overkill but thats ok. The other mod was easier routing the rear deck to fit the live well I didn't plan to have sticking up over the rest of the deck. I had to shave the new steering column some in order to fit the giant awesome EZACDC panel, also shaved the ignition color to fit where the whole is.
