[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 239278, member: 6937"] I was thinking it was the cold one shown in the pic: [ATTACH type="full" alt="32.jpg"]32462._xfImport[/ATTACH] But then again, that's almost a required tool for [b]any[/b] project, ain't it? :mrgreen: :lol: :wink: :P Seriously, though, it's looking good. I'm curious what are the gunwale hatches used for? Access to wire harnesses, etc? Storage? Or both? As the gunwales of a typical johnboat with an inner hull are only about 2-3" thick, it's hard for me to think what you could actually store in that space. That said, ANY kind of storage on a boat is a good thing. The more, the better. My old 14 foot DuraCraft was set up for storage. Sadly, it's not so with my 16 foot Triton, the storage layout on that boat really sucks. The manufacturer didn't seem to put a lot of thought into the design of that boat overall. The drainage system sucks, too, all the trash flows right off the main deck and into the bilge, there's no strainer tray, etc. Now that I've had the boat for over 2 years, I've worn the new off it, and at some point, I'm going to end up taking a saw to it, and making some storage areas. When I get to that point, I reckon I'll post some pics on here! Anyhow, keep us posted on the progress of your boat. Ought to be a really good setup once it's done. Joining the ranks of many other good projects here. Personally, I think the boat manufacturers could take some lessons from a lot of folks on this board about how a boat ought to be built! [/QUOTE]
