Waiting on the paint to dry so I went ahead and mounted the Humminbird Helix 7 SI. I'm going to update the console with new front panels and sides but top will remain. It looks great! Ready to find some crappie, trout, striper and walleye

Taped off for the black and will start on it tomorrow. Got my new decals off eBay and could not be happier! I asked the guy to cut my numbers as close as the same font as the vintage Smoker Craft decal

Took out the old console and I'm building a new one with storage for 3700 Plano boxes. This will allow me to also to tie the deck and console together.

Great looking build. Now I will be rethinking my plan to go without a console. After mine got stolen the plan was to go tiller steer.

Working on the boat this week. Got my custom trolling bars thought out. One on each side and one across the back to tie it all in. Here is the first with adjustable rod holders. They can slide anywhere on the bar.

Can't forget the pliers!

All the way around!

All rod holders will slide and lock in any positions
