[QUOTE="riverduck, post: 318241, member: 11098"] Hi All, A few updates. I have the floor in now and have gotten a bit further than these pics but pictures of Spar drying on wood aren't exciting so I will leave them out for now. I got the new transom in and she is tight and stiff now! Will outlast me I think. Very satistfying yet time consuming job! I would have never guessed I would have spent so much tim waiting for stuff to dry! The rear seat is shaping up nicely and actually has the inside framed in with wood now. Floor is down and tight. Those floor braces from the original floor made my life soooo much easier. The front deck annd rear seat cladding are done ane ready to go in when it stops raining later this week. Side lockers are mostly done but I have run into a bit of a snag. When looking at marine batteries today, I realize that my lockers are not tall enough to accomadate the battery as I had planned. So I am looking for options. The front seat is open so may put battery in there for future trolling motor. Can I run my lights, fishfinder, cig lighter, and swich panel off a smaller battery? I have heard some mention of lawnmower batteries being enough for this type of stuff and a deep cycle marine battery for the trolling motor. Total newbie to electrical so all suggestions are welcome. Sealed all the holes with Alumaweld and they look to take the Deck Restore I am planning to lay down on the deck and sides well. [/QUOTE]
