Ben, Those leads on there are 3 ft lengths. I also have some others that have 4 LED's in a cluster that i'm using to light up lockers and such. Mojo

Thanks for the comments guys, Ben here's a couple pictures of the lights i'm using to light up the interior. They are just some little 3 LED waterproof bars with the center light shooting strait and the side lights angled to shine out 45 deg's to either side. They aren't very powerful at all...

Thanks Guys, Today's progress. I got the battery boxes and batteries placed in the tray and got the tie down straps installed. I also mounted the onboard charger and hooked everything up. The lights kicked on and the battery's are charging like they should. I've had it on now for around 3...

I HAD blue tape on it.. that jigsaw is just a beat up mess. But it still works. :D

Dude, You know you love the Yellow! You just have to embrace it. :D In all seriousness thou It's starting to look good. Great work! Mojo

Ahoy Tinboaters! It's been a fun couple of days, I cut out the holes for my stereo speakers in the back bench and ran the wires. We hooked up both speakers and they worked fine. Operation Max Volume was a success! Managed to gouge up my paint job some more, that's par for the course. I also...

Yea Smackdaddy, Those foam boards turned out good. The best part about those over the 2 part foam is 1. It's no where near as messy and 2. They fit flush over the drainage channels in the bottom of the boat and won't impede run off back to the bilge. Also, I screwed up my flotation math up...

Hey Tinboaters, I've been moving right along the past couple of day's. And today was no exception... busy, busy, busy. We went out and got some foam to throw under the floor and inside all the bulkhead voids. So I'll be showing you all pictures of that, I also put the vinyl floor on the...

That is one sturdy looking boat! So many possibilities, I can't wait to see what you end up doing to it. And let me say... that bait well you've got means serious business... Never thought I'd see something that big in a John.

That's a great looking little boat man. The first time I glanced at that stern picture those handles jumped out at me and I thought "Tail lights?.. why??" LOL. Anyhow I like your idea of just painting the bottom up to the first runner then leaving the rest bright aluminum..Then maybe paint...

Good work on those hatch lids! Once again.. I wish I had a welder in my garage. :|

First, Thanks Fool4fish! Appreciate it. Second, Time to work on the rod locker situation. Got to measuring and cutting the aluminum then broke out the carpet and glue and got busy! I actually didn't run into any problems with this part of the build.. amazing. I got all my measurements right...

Thanks Smackdaddy and Bayou for the kind words. The positive comments help keep me motivated. (that and my Dad keeps telling me he's ready to go fishing) Here's some progress reporting.. I got all the hose's I ran to the back hooked up to their respective fittings. I also got said fittings...

Huge Picture Post Incoming! Hey ya'll, It's been around ten day's since the last update and I've gotten alot done. Not as much as I'd like to but that's always the case. The main accomplishment is that I have around 80% of the wiring done! The console is wired up with the exception of the...

Thanks Dave, Your boat looks pretty awesome too. I'm hope'n mine comes out half as nice as your's has. Mojo

Ran the transducer wire and the rest of the stuff going to the rear in today and put in the gasket/thru hull fitting to keep them from rubbing. I also installed all the stuff in the console and got it in place ready to be wired up. Here's the pics. All wire run to bilge area. Console with...

Yea Ben, It's marine wire, mostly 14 gauge with some 8 gauge for the battery wires. Mojo

Interior paint done! For now anyway.. got the third coat on this weekend and today I got to start putting it all together. This is where the fun really starts. I started running wire, I also put the cooler in place and strapped it in tight, got the gas tank in place and strapped down and last...

Looking good Ben. I like how you've put your stringers on the ribs themselves, and I really like the way you've put the deck area just a bit lower than the front. After looking at yours I kind of wonder if I should have done the same. Too late now for me, Let me know how you like it.

Ok.. The weather around here finally cleared up enough for me to paint the interior. It was way too humid for the last week with that storm hanging out in the gulf and throwing crap our way but it finally blew out and we got some sunshine and cooler weather. In the meantime while I waited I...
