Looks good, clean and simple. I would just put a floor to minimize tripping, and then have at it.

Whatever you have left over invest in the best electronics/trolling motor etc.... you can afford.

If you haven't done so, I'd check for leaks before you do anything.

We Took it out and tested it when I bought it.The only thing that laeks is the plug I couldnt get it to seal up.
I Finaly got the switch board done.

I tried to leave room incase I decide to add more later.

 

[Brine]

[Bemisboy1]
