I remember that. It turned out really well.

Nice boat -- diamond in the rough! I hope you keep posting updates. Here is my two cents and some random thoughts. If I was worried about the floor flexing, 1/8 ACM would not be my first choice. In reality, we are talking about adding 350 pounds of framing to the boat in an attempt to...

Actually, I would like to keep my head and pick up a new body.

What's a fashion day? :)

I actually would have to go out and look to see which I have! Haha.

I think it is a pretty good analogy if they were extended too long.

Based on my personal skill set, I would likely go the same way. Looks like the previous fiberglass patch just popped right off. That was a good thing.

I think you hit the nail on the head. When I zoom in it looks like that part (circled in red) is bolted to the winch post. Move it up until the bow stop is above the bow eye. Then route the cable/strap under the bow eye.

"The way I have it envisioned right now is the 12v battery will run out to the I/O then 2 power wires to the switch panel and to the trolling motor" This part has me a little confused. 16ga wire and a 15amp circuit breaker is going to be insufficient for the TM. Additionally, I suspect the...

Darn cow tippers!

Cow tipping might be closely related to snipe hunting :)

Isn't your 86# trolling motor 24V?

I like the idea of buying local, so don't get me wrong here. I'm not sure I'm following this. When it comes to getting service, what is the difference from buying a motor on line or from a private party. I can see possibly getting some preferential treatment being a direct customer, but can't...
