[QUOTE="dlmallory, post: 345707, member: 13386"] Yesterday was a very productive day. I was able to cut the plywood for the back seat covers and once I seal them I will be able to carpet each piece. I used 1/2 in plywood and that was fine for the back and for the floor because there are enough supports under the plywood. I went with 1/2 in for those locations to save weight. In cutting the front deck out when I went to stand on the plywood I could hear it cracking under my weight especially where the the 3 storage areas that I had boxed out. I am going to go with 3/4 in plywood on the front desk for more stability. I also was able to place the 2 middle seats that I had built in place. I didnt finish carpeting the side panels for the seat boxes until late last night so I dont have a complete picture. Also I decided to go with battery operated lights. I dont do much night time boating and when I do these lights are ridiculously bright. Next step is to attach the side panels for the seats, get 3/4 in plywood and 3/8 in plywood for the side panels to make everything look clean. Also I have to move the rollers on the trailer outwards due to that when anyone gets in or out of the boat the boats leans very dramatically because the rollers are both too close to the middle of the boat.
