[QUOTE="lowblazah, post: 239339, member: 5932"] lol...plenty of beer has been invested in thus far... that's one expense I opted not to track on the budget. Yes the side hatches are for rigging. The local ETEC dealer requested a 3" hole for harness and all controls. Well I couldnt provide a 3" run any way I looked at it. So I'm running everything through the side walls and down. (Exception being the hyd steering cables, they only come in 20' so I made a dedicated run straight down through the ribs with 1"pvc) There is about a thumb width space between the sheet of aluminum on the side and the side ribs. So I am going to try and run as much as possible myself to make his job as easy as plugging everything in and fine tuning the motor. The ETEC harness itself has almost three 1" electrical plugs. If its clean enough once I get everything ran, I may store a few things in there...but their main purpose is access to rigging, elec wires and making it easy for me to add accessories later. Just snake from the side to the center console and the run to the rear is easy. I hear you on the storage...this boat had a big storage bench added to the front deck, I'm not putting it back in so I have to make as much storage as I can. I'm kicking around adding another dedicated anchor storage hatch in the very front of the bow deck as well. We'll see tho on that. [/QUOTE]
