I finished up my mod today! :D It's been two years in the making. Recently added was the electrical switch panel with 12v cig lighter and trolling motor plug. Also on the bow is an Anchormate II anchor winch and Minn Kota mounting plate. The rear electrial wires from the stern light and...

Here are some more pics. The front bow compartment is a work in progress. Going to cut a door for access to the battery and switch panel that will be mounted there as well.

I am a medic, soon to be an RN. Graduated in August, just waiting to take my state boards. Those pull pins are really nice. No need to cut a big hole for a handle. I saw them on a larger Lund bass boat. Just did a simple internet search and found them cheapest at www.boatstore.com for...

The hinges are all cut and installed. Tonight I installed these cool SS hatch pull pins from SeaDog. Very impressed with the simplicity and look. Only one 7/32" hole in the hatch lid.

More progress on the carpeting. Cutting the stainless steel piano hinges have been the worst part. I have a metal cutting band saw, but it still takes over 8 mins to make just one cut. Its tearing up the teeth.

First hatch installed. Very pleased with how it turned out. I'm going to install SS lifter bolts to open the hatches.

Started my carpeting this past weekend. Stainless steel piano hinges cut and installed on the rear hatches. Now to cut the hatch lids. Looking like a 1/4 inch clearance around the lid will be what I need to have a snug fit. More pictures to come!

Pedestal bases cut and set in place.

I'm having issues too.

Been working on my deck layout. Here is my progress so far. The rear deck in the pics have been covered with spar urethane.

Urban Meyer would be proud of that paint job! GOOOO BUCKS!! O-H----I-O!! :lol:

Finished my transom this afternoon. Installed 3/4" marine grade plywood with 3 coats of Spar Urethane and stainless steel hardware. Also finished the aluminum framework for the rear deck.

Welcome Back! Don't feel bad, I still haven't finished my boat either. But the end is in sight! We'll have to meet up on Madison Lake some time when we both get done. :smile:

New Tempress Navistyle lowback seats with Shadowgrass Camo, SliderG5 on rear seat, and new bow cap.

After looking online at the Yahoo Group for Rich Line boats, I have confirmed the model of my boat. :D I previously thought it was a Challenger, but it's actually the Model 15. Here are the manufacturer pictures. Rich Line Boats - Yahoo Group https://groups.yahoo.com/group/Richline_53/

After looking into this product and the wonderful reviews, I ordered the SliderG5. Very fast shipping and great customer service. Very pleased with the quality and look of the slider. I haven't mounted it yet, but it should be a great addition to the boat. Thanks Mike & Brian! =D>

Thanks! I bought one gallon. (1/2 gal of neutral, and 1/2 gal of hardener) I did two coats, but in hindsight the first coat was too thick. I have less than a pint left over. Depending on your boat, I would definitely buy more than a gallon if you wanted to continue up the side. I would...

Here are some pictures of my Steel Flex application. Had one serious sag near the bow after the second coat went on. I did the two person application. I found if you want a thinner coat, it is best not to pour the steel flex and try to push it around. We had problems controlling the...

The temp rose above 75 this week and I was able to apply the steel flex. It was as difficult as everyone has explained here on the site. It has a few sags but I'm very pleased with the end result. The color is a good match. I'm so glad this portion of the build is over!

After waiting weeks for the temp to get above 75, it looks like I will be applying my Steel Flex this Weds. :D I have read all 23 pages of this post and have only one question. Is there any special gloves that I need to apply this stuff? I work in a hospital and can get regular medical exam...
