WC, got the paint today - looks like Wally World has decent selection! Thanks again!

wcbond, I do like the switch! This is the best price I found and it was delivered quick! https://possummarine.com/p/369/seasense_50031295 I think I got the negative bus bar there as well. Good luck! Paul

That stuff looks perfect! Looks like they carry the line at WalMart - thanks for the heads up!

Here are the latest updates! I have been working hard to get this thing ready before fishing season but with this weather the season is in swing already! Getting closer though! Here is my first attempt at carpeting, doing pretty good. I really like the brown carpet and think it will hide...

thanks!

Jay, How did you attach your piano hinge? My first attempt seemded like it was uneven. Did you attach to one piece with the hinge barrel on top and then fold over and set "lid" on top and then attach top? Any guidance would be helpful - my rear deck is starting to look a lot like yours! Lots...

Jay, Do your rear deck cover flaps hang down from level with the seat deck? It look slightly lower in the pic where the flaps meet the transom and looking at mine I would have to have them angle down if I raised off the bench seat as you did. Thanks & great job! PD

Couple more pics, polyurethane takes a while when it's chilly! Used scrap plywood to join two deck pieces together from underneath and dremel tool to cut off exposed screw on topside. Noodling on some ideas for trolling motor mount:

Good news on the carpet, free is good so long as it is acceptable condition! My boat has the livewell already built in the seat and I believe the well sits on the bottom of the boat. Does yours drain into the boat or out of the bottom? I had not considered and aerator in addition to...

Let me first start by saying that I am impressed by the mods that have been posted here! Wow! Great jobs! I have been lurking the past few months all the while gathering intel (it feels almost like stealing!). I used info here to find out what boat I feel would be perfect for me and I used...

I've been stealing ideas from you and Jay415 like crazy! Nice work! Imitation is the best form of flattery! =D> Will post progress on my 1448 flat shortly! Thanks, Paul

I want you to know that I am stealing ideas from you like crazy! Thanks! ;) One day I will get off my lazy *** and do my own post and share too.

How did you attach the tm mounting block and what fasteners fir the actual trolling motor, lag bolts?

This is great =D> . I got a 1448 flat for christmas and I love the ideas from this build. One question: how did you attach the frame to the boat at the back of the deck? (near the vertical drop). Also, what type of screws did you use to attach 2 X 4s to the existing aluminum platform...

what is the thickness of the aluminum used for the bow platform? ALso for the seats on the bench. Nice job!
