[QUOTE="C.U. Fishin, post: 144721, member: 3364"] Well tomorrow will be the shakedown run. These pics are from a couple days ago, since then I've gotten all the final work done: Installed trailer lights and wiring, got the hull # and registration stickers on, wired up the troller, Got the anchor secured under the bow plate. I did cut one big corner, that was using some old commercial duty carpet I had rolled up in the basement. I just didn't have another $150-200 available to buy marine carpet right now. I know I'll be re-doing it in a year or two, maybe sooner but this boat doesn't see much rain and is stored in the garage. I figured keeping the mortgage paid was a priority for right now. Since it's sort of temporary I didn't use carpet adhesive on any of the big pieces, I used it on the first couple hatch covers I did but at that point I realized that this carpet wasn't going to be permanent and when I redo it all the adhesive will be a real pain. Still need to get a stern light and wire up the running lights, and thinking seriously of upgrading my fishfinder, Got one of those Hummingbird Fishin Buddy's that clamp on the side right now. Looking for some ideas on how/where to put in some kind of a switch panel with a place to mount a fishfinder and possibly a small compartment that I can seal up good for keys, phones and camera.
