Man that sounds like a great idea I'm defiantly gonna need some! Thanks for letting me know!
Well I got about 30 mins of work done today cause I was busy all day doing non boat stuff ](*,)
But here is what I got done. I did however get enough stuff together to keep my boat work going for a while.
I started this morning stripping the console. This is what I used.
Be careful about getting this stuff on your skin. It does not feel great!
It seems to work pretty good. I'm still having to sand it afterwards and clean with acetone befor priming. This is all the actual work I got done.
I will post more when I get to it.
Now for the surprise I have been waiting for! And the reason I got pulled away from the above work.
My new trolling motor!!! \

I have always wanted a minnkota. I found what I call a heck of a deal. It was brand new never opened which I was thinking the warrenty may still apply. Maybe. It has the card in it but I don't know what to put down for where I bought it, cause it was from a person not a business. Anywho it's a foot controlled 50lb for $350 I couldn't pass her up.
Coolers are going to be livewells I hope!
All purty and new like!
Here is what I am planning for my live wells.
I got to thinking about the whole cooler thing. I found two coolers for free so I think I am going to try it and just see how it turns out. They are a little taller then my original deck but I think I can make them work. They will be hooked up just like a regular livewell and not the cooler kit(no offense) lol. I am thinking I can remove the lids and set the decking right down on top of them. I will foam around a little just to add some good support. I am thinking of a good way to put my deck on top of them maybe glass really good the area that would be the top of the live wells. There would be two which I like. And then I could just seal them real good where the fiberglass meets the top of the cooler. Then......Man there's a lot of steps lol ..... Then cut the wholes for the tempress hatches. I think it will work because it will look good on top and pretty much cover everything underneath with foam anyway. I still can have my professional look but it would cost a lot either. I didnt pay anything for the coolers so if I screw it up all I have lost is a little time. They fit perfectly between the ribs.
Last but not least I got some stuff in the mail finally ready to use it!
I will see if I can actually get in a good days work tomorrow! Have a good night guys!
