[QUOTE="meonline06, post: 311299, member: 8570"] I got a little more work done over the last couple days. I finished the side panel on the port side. I think it looks much better now without the ribs showing. I still have to finish the starboard side. I also installed hatch handles to make it easier to open the storage hatches. It gives it a finished look; without handles it's like not having any hardware on your kitchen cabinets. Lastly, I finally finished my aft casting deck. I couldn't install the rear hatch previously because the outboard steering cable was in the way. I no longer have that problem after installing the jack plate. I still need to install pedestal seats for both casting decks, but that will have to wait until i save up some more $$. I also realized the other day that having a fish finder on the console would make finding bait fish a million times easier. On the James River the catfish love shad, but if you can't find 'em it makes fishing very SLOW. My next project is to get the rod locker finished. I generally take 6-8 rods with me when I go fishing and I'm tired of my rod tips getting tangles together. I've already cut out the panels for it, I just need to install them and carpet. More updates to come... [/QUOTE]
