Red and black? You can't use red and black on a small boat for anything other than the battery to fuse block wiring. That's right in the National Electric Code. All other wires have to be chartreuse and mauve. Just Kidding :lol:

Looks good.

Those lids on those livewells/containers....Do they support weight (Can you stand on them?).

According to the manufacturer, yes, it can support weight. I haven't stood on it but I have placed a lot of my weight on it while doing some work. I'm unable to take it out to check the exterior livewell intake and drain, the lakes are pretty much frozen around here.
I got the console attached to the deck today. Trolling motor deck and trolling motor go on next. Just a critical mass of work.

At first I thought you were just yanking our chain, but then I thought about it, and all the leads on the marine components I have bought were the chartruese and off white. Why is this? Now, it won't stop me from using red and black wiring, but I am curious to know. It obviously doesn't have to do with a voltage thing, as many 12 volt vehicle leads are red and black.

An update to my story:

I kept this modded boat for 3 years, just sold it 11/2010. I was having some problems so I did need another boat, which I just recently ordered, a new G3 1756SC
but without an outboard, for the time being.
I'm getting in the swing of things after my absence and I'm checking everybody's projects. I'm very impressed with the workmanship and ingenuity and maybe a little
bit jealous of the final products.
It's great to be back and can't wait to learn a bit and share a bit.

If you do more tournaments and are planning to do more with them, then You should go for the bigger boat. That stinks though because your boat is killer!

Jim, you forgot about the possibility of MBS. MBS (multiple boat syndrome) is the best disease I have ever gotten. :lol:

I have mbs... :twisted: I like you boat, never been in a tourney, however if they want your boat a certain length permanently affix something to the bow that sticks out the additional little bit... light post, anchor guide, mermaid etc...
