[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 235297, member: 6976"] Wheeeewwwwwww. 95% of the way there. Rough interior is in, primed, and base paint. This boat will end up camo, but I haven't decided on what pattern to use. Grey it is for now. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Interior 95%.jpg"]31584._xfImport[/ATTACH] That's an old seat that came with the boat, but couldn't resist mounting it for this weekends lake trip. Bow area with anchor storage up front and large item storage closest to the cockpit. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Bow area.jpg"]31585._xfImport[/ATTACH] The thin panel between the deck and the gunwales was a PITA. I'm sure this will be changed in the future, but there are ducks to chase this year and January is the time to do it here in North Texas. Stern deck and bench seat. [ATTACH type="full" alt="JSJB - Stern area 95% done.jpg"]31586._xfImport[/ATTACH] Engine hatch is a single piece. Engine in the center, fuel on the port side, and then storage on the starboard side. The bench seat has storage beneath. It hinges forward and houses the battery. I moved the battery back to this area after talking with a couple jet guys. Hoping to keep the "window" of the jet inlet open a little longer by not being so bow heavy. We'll see if this helps cavitation or not. I left the battery extensions up to the bow so I can move things around pretty easily. Really appreciate everybody's help, comments, views, and interest. Nice to be able to share and learn. [/QUOTE]
