[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 115734, member: 863"] That's good news. As far as what to do next, every project is different, no one does things the same. Before doing much to the inside, I made sure the trailer was squared away (big project in itself), and then prepped/painted the outside of the boat. That way once it was flipped over and back on the trailer, it was on there for good. Then I could focus on the inside. once I put together a plan, I built the deck support structure, cut out the wood for the decks, treated and carpeted them, prepped and primered the inside of the boat, made a trolling motor mount, made a support for the battery tray in the rear so the battery wouldn't damage the bottom of the boat, mounted and wired my fish finder, and now I've got to wire up the trolling motor, paint the inside of the boat, attach the decks and pedestal seat bases, and wrap up a few other loose ends. That's my project, I'm doing things a little simpler than others, with no compartments or anything at this time. I might add one or two later, and one possible method might be cutting the top off the rear bench. I'm sure you've researched the bench seat mods quite a bit by now, and read a lot of the previous project posts, that has been what I've learned the most from. I hope this helps a little bit, I'm no expert, just sharing how I've done things. [/QUOTE]
