[QUOTE="Makaw, post: 504495, member: 25180"] It's been awhile since I last posted to this build thread, so here's a quick update! A few boat minor changes have taken place: 1. I installed a threaded post mount to the rear deck so I can use my casting seat from the rear of the boat. The slightly larger deck/seat has made this possible 2. I braced the rear deck with aluminum supports, the same way I braced the front deck 3. I moved all my blue LED lighting. They were WAY brighter than I expected. The direct blue lighting in the dark was overpowering, so I moved all of the strips to locations that were "recessed," which greatly improved nighttime visibility Here are a few before/after comparison pictures. I still occasionally look through my old photos to see how far the boat has come. I'll post some more action photos soon of various trips this summer.
