We riveted a piece of angle to the bottom and then attached the console to the boat with riveted threaded inserts that work amazing for these applications.  Its bolted to the seat and one rib that runs parallel to it.  The steering cable just arrived today and I am also planning on getting a stainless steering wheel to compliment the style of the boat.[ATTACH=full]67788[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67789[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67790[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67791[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67792[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67793[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67794[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]67795[/ATTACH]It'll be another 2 weeks before I get back down to the inlaws so after that I will post some more.  There is definitely plenty to come!  We plan on added the same aquaduct transom that he added to his as well as a t-top canopy and then there is paint coming as well.  Stay tuned!</blockquote>
