[QUOTE="JOHNSON44, post: 167995, member: 4194"] Looking back at this post, I am rather pleased with my progress to date (even if I do say so myself). Getting close to mechanicals on the outboard and that scares me more than a little. I tried to take good notes and pictures during the tear down. I guess I find out now how well I did. The front is about ready for carpet and final interior painting. The cooler stand is done. I just get tired of a cooler always being in the way, or sliding around the boat, or never where I left it so I made a permanent home for it, secured with bungees and screw eyes later. The battery box is done and varnished, ready for paint and carpet on the lid. Plenty strong enough for a seat also. The battery cases will be secured to the floor and the batteries strapped in. Next will be the console that needs to be cleaned up and painted. I think I will raise it 3" off the floor so it is easy for my 6'4" to get to, both sitting and standing. [/QUOTE]
