[QUOTE="One Last Cast, post: 359776, member: 14412"] Built the frame for the front casting deck, pretty happy with it but I will probably make a few changes. Learned a lot of lessons from this, but I do think it turned out sturdy enough. I am going to put the fuel tank in the bow so I ran my fuel line and electrical. I have my switch panel and bilge pump. One tip I can say is when planning a build like this, always buy 5 more 2x2's then you think you will need haha. So the next step is going to be the tedious act of wiring everything into the switch. Here is what I plan to run from my battery: 1) running/anchor lights 2) led floor lights (something small but effective enough to help out those early morning decoy spreads) 3) bilge pump 4) fish finder 5) cigarette lighter - plug in flood light/phone charger/anything really 6) I ran a dead line to the bow in the future event I find a trolling motor but will cross that bridge if and when it comes. Cutting and carpeting the plywood is gonna happen soon and I already know it's going to suck so will have to dedicate some time to that. One step at a time. Also, Michigan approved a 3 year "trial" early teal season from sept 1-7!! Excited! [/QUOTE]
