[QUOTE="gah319, post: 350164, member: 13154"] Worked on getting the back bench top cut out. Marked where the holes are for the seat base and the opening for the storage hatch. Got those cut out. Mounted the riser for the motor and put the motor on to make sure all worked as I wanted. Determined the best place for the cup holder and got that cut out. Last to cut out was the handle for the storage lid. The storage lid will have 3/4" of the aluminum bracket under it so should be good and solid to stand on. Lid is only 14 X 16. The motor riser now needs the plugs put in to cover the screws that attach to the transom and then finish it off with spar varnish. Considering using 5200 to attach the plates, but not sure I want to make it "that" permanent. Once put on with that it ain't a coming off. Still need to cut out a 1/4" spacer for the back of the riser, just a little bit narrow, but I have enough aluminum here to do that without any problems. It is suppose to rain all next week so I should be able to get the rest of the bench and lids for the back 2/3's of the boat cut completely out. Hope to get the front deck also finalized in the framework and get it decked. The on the next nice day I can start getting it all painted and varnished. [/QUOTE]
