[QUOTE="pletzy, post: 350891, member: 13263"] Carpeting and decking has started. The bow and middle deck has been carpeted. Hinges were purchased (1.25" open width .040ga) to fit my 5/8 plywood, however the wrong ones were shipped. Still waiting. Test fit the bow deck and it looks like it's starting to take shape. [ATTACH type="full" alt="bow deck.jpg"]63159._xfImport[/ATTACH] Got my switch box set into the seat and the bilge pump switch installed. They didn't have ones that matched in stock, so it looks (and is wired) different than the others. I moved the voltmeter switch beside the device.
