[QUOTE="danmyersmn, post: 152073, member: 2096"] I have gone off shore and caught Mahi a few times and I have surf fished the beach a number of times but I haven't dropped a line in any freshwater down here yet. I plan to soon though. I am going with the "high speed" build now since I put this entire project on hold 1/2 way through the winter and now I just want to get it finished enough to be out fishing. I have the front casting deck cut and the bottom side and edges coated in Thompson water seal. I will finish coating the topside tonight then that goes on hold while I wait for a livewell pump to be shipped down from my bro in MN. Once that arrives the plumbing and lights on the front deck will be finished and I will work my way back the floor. I am using 3/4" exterior plywood for the decking and my plans for the below deck rod holder have been put on hold, I am going with a single flat piece of deck with no hatch. That may change in the future, but as I said, now I want to get it done on the water. I won't shortcut things i think i require, but items like a radio, rod storage, lights, etc. can be put on later in steps. No pics of the front deck, I got rained on and had to shove everything back into my garage for the night. [/QUOTE]
