[QUOTE="Jinxd12, post: 506113, member: 25542"] 2 weekends in and I was close, front deck I made the lower panel into the storage access, simple and efficient. Had to buy more EVA foam, those rolls don't go very far! I didn't screw the deck or the floor down until the EVA foam was installed, I wanted easy access to any issues in the future but also not have to pull up the foam to find screws. I did run a length of 1" liquid tight conduit under the floor board from front to rear for wiring. Cut the hole and installed the switch panel, and wired everything up. I was happy with the location, and it was mostly protected for the elements where I had all the terminations. I ordered a trolling motor, simple 45# thrust for a deal of $399, it will get upgraded in the future, I just didn't want to buy a used one for close to full price local. Had to figure out where to mount it that didn't take away valuable deck space but was also rigid. Had to add some structure under the front bow plate but it's solid as a rock. Boat was almost ready. This was the middle of the 3rd week. Had to pause, wife was out of town for a week and kids were on school vacation. [/QUOTE]
