[QUOTE="Jbower, post: 446351, member: 23160"] It’s slowly coming together. I need to swap out that steering wheel it looked grey when it wasn’t close to the boat but it definitely looks tan in the boat. I ran a bunch of wiring tonight,mounted my control box, ran throttle cable to hot foot, ran transducer wire, finished mounting console. I think I am going to be switching motors to a 75 possibly. And I’m going to go with a 6 inch jack plate. I am trying my hardest not to spend to much money on this project as I don’t want to be upside down in it. But I don’t have much in carpet nor wood. paint that I used for the outside is the same I used on the wood, console was only 175$. My end goal is to be able to go places that the guys I fish in tournaments with can’t. Shallow waters and creeks and my lake has a loch that goes to 7 other lakes, a normal sized bass boat won’t get threw it. Anyways I’m going to end up with more time than money in it and in a few years I’ll either decide to keep it or sell it. Kalninm it sounds like your doing a great job. Just take your time and everything will turn out great. I on the other hand am kind of rushing mine mainly because I have a few pontoon redecks scheduled to come on the shop and won’t have the room for my boat in the shop while those are going on. But don’t get me wrong I’m doing everything as right as I should but somethings that I’m rushing now will need attended to more towards spring Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
