[QUOTE="muskyhunter1978, post: 515243, member: 34965"] Update I finished it all up last week and got her ready for "sea trials"... aka fishing trip. I dunked her and we left it sit at the dock for a bit as I setup fish finders and prepped rods and lures for the morning. Checked the bilge area after 10-15 mins in the water, bone dry. I spot checked it through the 6-8 hours of fishing we did and not a drop in the bilge area. I'm stoked! This was a heckuva job to do, but I feel the attention to details and making sure everything was right was well worth the extra time and effort. Here's a couple pics of the boat after our trip to the lake this morning showing the transom work and the purdy side of the boat. Next project over the summer is some trailer work. Plan on replacing bunk carpets with plastic and I think I need new bunk brackets. Then onto hubs, some wiring, etc. I will put another update up as a final and outline a few things I learned through this process and a couple "gotcha's".
