[QUOTE="thill, post: 503914, member: 4972"] It's getting there. I have a ton of trim carpet to do, but that will wait. I just built up the bow cap to handle a trolling motor. I have a Riptide Terrova that's going there. Also, I did something I've wanted for awhile in a boat with a split windshield. I made a way to stop cold air from coming through the center pass through in the winter. The bow area has a bunch of storage under it, so I built a door to access or close it off as desired. I designed it so that when you flip it up, it blocks air from coming down the center of the boat. Here are some pics... Window open, the hatch in the normal, closed position: [ATTACH type="full"]116649[/ATTACH] Windshield closed, as you would when running in the cold or rain: [ATTACH type="full"]116650[/ATTACH] And here is with the lower door up, to block wind from coming in: [ATTACH type="full"]116651[/ATTACH] So no more tornado of cold air blowing through the middle of the boat when running in the winter. Yes, I'm tickled with this stupid little hatch. Call me dumb, it's okay. [/QUOTE]
