lookin good man! now get out there and catch some of those cold water bass!!

is your back hatch covering your batteries hinged?
 
Very nice, I especially like the livewell upgrade. I plan on using the same switch panel, is it built pretty well?
 
Awesome job... how is the rear deck secured to not show screws (assuming you wrapped the carpet around the edges prior to putting the deck down)

No, the back hatch is actually fastened down with heavy duty velcro.

Yes, that panel is very well built. It is very easy to install.

I did wrap the carpet around the edges of the deck. I did not use any screws at all. I fastened the rear deck down by using Liquid Nails. I also installed the seat post base first so I could carpet over it to give the back deck a cleaner more professional look.
 
Liquid nails... very interesting... How well does that stuff hold up? I've only head of using it for household applications, so I wouldnt know how weather and temperature changes would affect it.

trust me... it works for just about anything you don't want to come undone... the guy who had my boat before me used it to keep his wiring attached to the side of the boat - and I spent hours trying to get that crap off my boat

They make several types of it for different applications. I can't remember of hand which one I used but it was one made for outdoor projects like decks, etc... and could be used directly on metal, including aluminum. I had actually talked with a gentleman who used it for almost all of his fastening projects on his boat project. He told me his boat is holding up like new and he had finished his boat over 6 years ago.

Lol! Boy don't I know it! If you drop or get any of it on anything, you'd better make sure you get it cleaned up asap! If it dries on your hands it is there for quite a while. lol
 
Finally have pics of my finished Jon Boat project! I have had the boat out once and it was stable and dry. It was even better balanced than I had hoped and expected. The only items that I still plan on buying are an extension handle for the outboard motor, a fishfinder for the front deck and a spare tire for the trailer. I have around $2,300.00 invested in this boat. Not too bad for a redneck bass boat! It was a very fun project. I wished I would have had the money to purchase everything all at once but it actually worked out to where I would get one item and get it installed and or finished and could really take my time and try and do it right. I also want to thank everyone on here for their help as well. Please feel free to ask me anything and also post your comments. I look forward to all feedback. Thanks again and happy fishing.Boat Pics 321.JPGBoat Pics 320.JPGBoat Pics 266.JPGBoat Pics 265.JPGBoat Pics 263.JPGBoat Pics 262.JPGBoat Pics 261.JPGBoat Pics 260.JPGBoat Pics 259.JPGBoat Pics 258.JPGBoat Pics 257.JPG
