[QUOTE="captngrif, post: 474728, member: 25791"] Thanks for the encouragement "A Perfect Tin". Here are a couple of updated images. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20200616_153832363_HDR.jpg"]105918._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20200616_153951774_HDR.jpg"]105917._xfImport[/ATTACH] I got the floor in. The bow area is just about ready to get the decking screwed down. I used conduit for the rod tubes, probably could have spaced them closer together, but oh well. 7 baitcasters is about all I have anyway! I have a bunch of pool noodles/rigid insulation board and Great Stuff gluing all off the flotation together. I salvaged some of the Styrofoam from the original bench seats to fill one large cavity. Today I hope to get hinges on the three bow hatches all set and then get a coat of paint on that plywood. I am debating running 1/2 inch aluminum angle around the hatches to give a clean edge. I am going to be using EVA foam on the front and back fishing decks (Ended up being cheaper than marine carpet and a good adhesive!). I had left space for carpet between the hatches. But I am thinking that I can have a tighter tolerance with the EVA and I could fine tune the gaps with the aluminum angle. [/QUOTE]
