270Handiman's 1649 Custom Flat Project

[270Handiman]

Diamond plate is nice if it is going to be the finished surface. Personally, I prefer to cover all the flat surfaces with Hydro-Turf. It looks good, helps quiet things down if you drop something, and it's much easier on the feet in the summertime.

Your really close on the purpose of it! But it's a block, not transfer case!

It looks like a compressor with the jugs removed.

I want to see someone do one that is remote steer instead of tiller I think it be pretty cool. I'd love to have one but can't really justify the pricetag for my boating style.

Took me a month, but I finished it up!

I'm going to try to post the rest of the build pics from where I left off in October 2010.

My last actual build pics I posted were of the framing of the front deck. These represent how it sat when I began work again this February.

 

[270Handiman]

One of my goals from the beginning was to Hydro-Turf all the flat surfaces. Here is the turf work on the front deck:

Pulled the hatch and bow light plug

The turf comes in 60 x 40 sheets, so I started with the center

Then I put the sides pieces in and it looked something like this
