[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 222876, member: 6334"] Hey Fever, The fuel tank fill and vent fittings are plumbed and the tank is decked over. Now I can mount the leaning post on the decking. Still have to connect the fuel supply line to the water separator in the back. I'm beginning to deck in portions of the boat that won't be accessed. I have a skill saw with a fine cabinet grade carbide blade that is the "go to" for cutting the larger sheets of DP (4 x 10) For slicing up the box framing or angle I have a compound miter saw with a 10 inch 80 tooth cabinet grade carbide blade also. For cutting the smaller DP for hatches etc. I use my B&D table saw with a 10 inch 80 tooth cabinet grade carbide blade. I'm sure that after this project is done I will have to replace all of them since they will be trashed, but in the mean time, they sure make life easy. You are right Mike about measure, measure, measure, then cut. I also use a T bevel to check an angle and transfer it to the miter saw. Slow progress now, can't find hinges and hatch pulls locally. Thanks for looking guys, I hope to get some pics up later today. :) [/QUOTE]
