Going to install a "Tiny Tach" today and then do some fishing to test it out. It's not like I need a reason to fish but :roll: Will post pictures of the install and give a review after the test.

Nice work. Just moved back from ft laud for a job I could not refuse. Just a guess but looks like your off Riverland. Nice dogs!

Where did you get the LED lighting? It is very bright.

I was going to carpet mine, but after seeing yours I like a surface I can hose down better, Gets pretty nasty when bowfishing.

What size is the boat?

THE FOAM.... I used to spray poly-urethane foam for over ten years before I retired from that trade. My point is no body loves foam more than me for insulation and roofing purposes. In a vessel, my concerns are water no being able to travel to stern. The foam not being heated and mixed 1:1 correctly with out a $10k or plus proportioner, which results in open cell rather than closed cell which foam is now a sponge. So I guess my point is what are then benefits of foam, other than your boat is sinking and it may keep you a float. Also what kit did you use and how did you apply foam kit? (did you heat chemical, gun/applicator, coverage you got out of kit, where you bought it and cost) Just trying to get some opinions. Any insite is appreciated

First here is the link were I purchased the Foam the link contains pricing I used the 2lb foam (80lb kit) https://www.uscomposites.com/foam.html

Yes it is for flotation it also gives a little structural strength also. There is no need for any heat or special tools, simply mix 1:1 stir and pour.

Put a two bank on-board charger on this week (Post pics later). Man how nice it is not to have to hook a charger all the time . Oh and I lost one of my stick actors this weekend #-o (fell overboard) ordered a new one today and the live well stopped working. Gonna have to look into this new little problem sometime this week. Motor runs but will not prime have to pull it apart and take a look maybe trash, air lock, sucking air, I don't know it worked fine before.

I love what you've done with your boat man, I took have the fever for snookies, but still in gainesville for another 12 months. Where u at in florida man? I tried to do mine in more of a offshore inshore feel but I hadn't thought about night lights till I looked at your boat, might have to borrow that...

As always tight lines, cold beer, and Go Gators!
