[QUOTE="1Vhull, post: 476507, member: 25072"] A few progress photos. I’ll do a coat of epoxy on the wood, and ideally one day replace with aluminum but for now this will work. Hate adding anymore weight then needed but thanks to the welded aluminum frames I could step all the plywood down to 1/2” or less. And interior panels are just foam board. Have really been going back and fourth on wiring locations. Regardless of adding a small helm one day or not I think the switches will be fine in the back deck area, will for sure be less wires to hide and run all the way up and back. Also planning on bending a panel to fit in the transom area for the battery shutoff, breaker and fuse block across from the battery. Trying to keep the wire runs short and concise. The trolling battery has its own home upfront with its own shutoff and breaker. Although I have done work to my trailer, I still can’t stand it, it’s someone’s home build that’s extremely heavy and very twisted. I had to rebunk it to mind my fresh paint job but do any of you recommend a new brand/ place to buy a boat trailer? My only real prerequisite is I’d ideally want full size tires as I have a lot of long trips in mind. Boat is 14’. Thanks and hope everyone is doing well. [/QUOTE]
